Like natural stone siding, engineered stone panels protects a building’s exterior from harsh elements and looks great at the same time. But compared to natural stone, engineered stone veneer is a more cost-effective and affordable siding option. It costs less because it’s a mixture of sand or concrete and reinforcing additives crafted to resemble natural stone. Engineered stone veneer is also easier to transport and install than natural stone siding. This is another reason why homeowners get the look of natural stone siding at a much lower price with this siding material. If you’re interested in this practical and stylish siding option for your home, take a look at your design options below.
Tailored Stone
Tailored stone siding is a great option if you’re looking for a beautiful, organized, and timeless engineered stone panels. This siding features a classic brick pattern design with a slightly rugged rock face and is available in a variety shades and colors to resemble various types of stone.

Limestone
The limestone engineered stone veneer option offers the elegant look and natural beauty of limestone. The laying pattern is less random than dress field, with rectangles of different sizes stacked on top of one another and even rows.
Granite/River Rock Siding
The granite and river rock engineered stone veneer option is the most random and natural-looking of the siding replacement options. Imagine taking as many oval, circular, and odd-shaped stones from a river bed and fitting them perfectly together, filling every space like a puzzle, over your home’s exterior walls.
