Just did an install of this stuff on an interesting shaped building (12-sided, so all outside mitered corners). a few thoughts to some of the comments I've seen here: -Like you said, get used to the imperfections. Its a cast concrete product so there are going to be inconsistencies. I found that your starting row is super important to a good install. Don't be afraid to chip the flanges off or grind at the bottoms of the panels if you have a bowed piece that won't seat right. -The starter strips are really handy. Each panel is probably 15 lbs or so, so not having to hold it up while trying to screw is nice. -Because the faces of the stone are inconsistent with each other, mitred corners are just not going to match perfectly. If it really bothers you, Versetta makes a "caulking" that matches the stone color and consistency so you can get rid of the inevitable gaps that will show up. -USE YOUR LEVEL! It's really easy to get out of level if you aren't checking each piece, and you wont realize until you get to your siding and the whole stone cladding is an inch out over the length of a wall. Snapping lines (preferably set with a laser) is crucial to a good install. -A cold chisel works really well to chip the flanges. -An angle grinder with a 4in masonry blade came in handy for fine work. -Remember, this product is an budget friendly ALTERNATIVE to masonry work. The overall aesthetic is nice though. If you want the real thing (real rock, mortar, nice edges, etc.) you are going to pay for it. -WEAR A MASK, EARMUFFS AND EYE PROTECTION when cutting this stuff. It's concrete, and the silica dust is really bad for you. Overall a really cool product. Easy and straightforward to install for beginners. It achieves the look a lot of people are going for at a price that won't make you crap yourself. Don't be afraid to dive in and try an install yourself, it really isn't an intimidating product. Good video, thanks for posting.

Thanks man what a fantastic video we are in the process of building a house. I’m debating on doing the versetta Stone or having somebody install a different style stone. I think you sold me on the versetta Stone. I can do it myself. And you should definitely do the porch columns And make a video of that

nice work

Which color Versetta Stone did you use? Also, have you noticed any fading of the color on the stone you installed on your garage? Wondering how durable the hand-painted finish is in your experience.

My concern is the screws, if water gets behind the stone water hits the screw now it can get behind you're water barrier and there is a problem. Do they have pre made inside and outside corners really don't like that look of butting them looks weird. I normally when doing stacking stone miter the corners if they do not have pre made one's.

Can u put them over stucco or would i have to take off stucco wall?

How do you do an inside corner?

Do you need to caulk the gap betweeen the stone sill and the window?
