When it comes to building products, certain concepts really grab my attention. One sure winner is the use of screws as fasteners. This especially applies if using a star-head (Torx) screw is an option. Star-head screws reek of positive holding from the instant you fit one onto the driver bit of your screw gun.
That’s some pretty good stuff—nearly
on the level of duct tape.
I never dreamed the day would
arrive when I could use screws as the method for attaching stone to a wall, but
the day has arrived.
For later part of this week, I
have been screwing Versetta Stone cultured stone panels to my sunroom
walls. Better yet, for making clean cuts
in the stone, I have been able to use the rock saw Tad and I jointly purchased.
Desiree and I chose Terra Rosa
style stone, which somewhat matches the existing brick veneer on our home. So far, I am impressed with to ease of
installation and the look of the final product.
The panels fit pretty well providing you are diligent in initial layout
and follow the instructions.
I have posted a few photographs of the work in progress.

Very nicely done.You can tell this is being done by someone who cares about their work. Are you going to add trim? If so, what will you use there? Moss, lol?
ReplyDeleteI still have some metal features left to do. And then we will fill the space with plants.
