Cast stone veneer

| Posted in General Discussion on

*
Does anyone have any experience with cast stone veneers. I’m thinking about using it to accent an entry way. Installation would be over OSB sheathing. Any thoughts, likes, dislikes, installation tips.

    I love the stuff, but you won't be able to install it over OSB. Most require a diamond lathe/mortar backing.

      *Nail up felt paper then the metal lath. I was told to start at the top with the cultured stone and work your way down.
