Stone Selex-Exterior Stucco with Stone Cladding-Toronto

Okay, so there isn’t really one right way of using exterior stucco with stone cladding. Every space is unique and for that it requires personalized attention to make the stone veneer work. When you combine Stone Selex products with Decorawall exterior moulding the combination are truly endless. By adding trims, sills and stucco to your favourite stone veneer you can transform the exterior of your home into something truly spectacular.

A great theme that incorporates the exterior moulding/stone veneer combination is the Victorian mansion. This style works well for homes that have multiple stories and pointed roofs. The main idea is to emulate the look and feel of Victorian castles. The best way to do this is to first choose a suitable stone veneer. Large stone patterns like Cathedral and Castle stone work best at creating an authentic castle look. Choose a hue that works with pre-existing stucco or decide on a stone veneer colour with the moulding and stucco colours in mind. It’s very important to match up the two hues.

Once you’ve decided on a stone pattern and colour it’s time to choose an appropriate sill to install around the windows. The style really depends on your own personal taste. Rounded sills and trims have a more modern look to them whereas the rectangular style creates a more rustic castle feel. The trims will add a new dimension to the windows and add the Victorian feel. In this scenario the stone veneer can be used to cover an entire area of the exterior. Covering one protruding facade or balcony in stone veneer is the most common option with this technique.

If you can’t find the right sill/trim or you want to use stone veneer exclusively then you can omit the trim/sill mouldings and use special stone veneer trims to seal the window edges. Ask one of our sales representatives for further details.
