Brick & Stone Cladding

Cladding, also called veneer, is a thin outer layer of brick or stone applied over a structural wall. It gives you the look of full masonry without the weight and cost of a solid brick or stone wall.

 

Cladding options

• Natural stone veneer: Real stone, cut thin for wall use, with unmatched natural character

• Manufactured stone veneer: Lighter and more budget-friendly, available in many styles and colours

• Thin brick veneer: The classic brick look in a slim profile, great for interiors, fireplaces and renovations

• Full-depth brick veneer: Traditional brick laid as an outer layer on new construction

 

Where it works well

• Home exteriors and accent walls

• Entryways, pillars and columns

• Fireplace surrounds, indoors and out

• Outdoor kitchens and BBQ areas

• Retaining wall faces and planters

• Commercial storefronts and feature walls

 

Why moisture control matters in Vancouver

With our rainfall, how cladding is installed matters as much as what it looks like. Water that gets trapped behind veneer can cause rot, mould and cracking. We use proper flashing, drainage and moisture barriers, and we make sure the wall behind the veneer is prepared correctly, so the finished work protects your home instead of causing hidden problems.
