Gatton Masonry is one of the top installers of veneer stone products on Vancouver Island but why is veneer stone the number one seller? Well without the heavy weight of stone blocks the total load on the wall is low therefore the stone is bonded directly to the wall or other structure instead of requiring a footing. This eliminates the need for a load bearing base to build on and the veneer product can adhere right to the wall. Veneer stone carries the look of traditional stone masonry work making for a pleasing look and extreme durability. For your next project stone veneer might be the answer for form and function
