Most stone veneers require a skilled craftsman, specialty tools, or have weight/weather restrictions. Evolve Stone does NOT require specialty training or tools and eliminates all weight/weather restrictions, making this an exceptional product for any builder or homeowner. Its innovative nature addresses many industry issues both builders and homeowners face when installing stone siding. By teaming up with some of the brightest minds in the construction industry and enduring ten years of testing, Evolve Stone developed a system that drains and dries while protecting the home when using stone veneer as siding. This systemic approach is backed by a 50-year limited warranty. Competitors' products can hold moisture against the structure, causing a variety of issues. Evolve Stone is moisture impermeable, meaning the material itself will not hold water, helping to protect the home or structure from harsh weather. It tolerates wide temperature swings, heavy precipitation, freeze-thaw cycles, UV, and wind loading, reassuring the builder or homeowner that Evolve Stone is here to stay. Although stone veneer is used frequently for exterior siding and outdoor living, Evolve Stone is used for interior accent walls, kitchen islands, fireplaces, entryways, or other creative applications.
