Installing the BEST Looking (FAKE) Faux Stone: Versetta Stone by BORAL
Vložit
- čas přidán 31. 01. 2020
- Installing Versetta Stone by Boral is not only super easy, but it is by far the best looking (fake) faux stone on the market. You can have the Stone Veneer look without all the work! We have been using it on our structures for many years now and I always try to talk our clients into using Versetta Stone. It is so good looking, I have had other masons and concrete guys ask me who I hired to do the Stone work on our project. Just because it is faux stone, doesn't mean it has to look fake.
If looking for the best faux stone for your next project, check it out. Fake stone that is installed like vinyl siding, but looks like real stone!

Versetta Stone is a great cost effective way to enhance the look of your building very simply.
Great video on this product
What is the price per square foot?
We've had great luck with Versetta stone. Used it on our last 8 houses. Saves use from waiting on a specialty trade to come in and mortar the real stone on. Only downside is, there are limited colors currently.
@@skliros9235 He said $12.50 per sq ft in the video, I believe
24 square feet at Home Depot is like 360 before tax here in New York
This is a good book. Does provide a step by step introduction to how to build things czcams.com/users/postUgkxhgbP-6hUnXu_QRaoHgLztgsI0YF3HqR0 , also does offer some steps. Includes pictures to give you ideas for layouts and such. If you are looking for a guide, this is not exactly what you want. But if you are trying to familiarize yourself with the way that pole barn building and other out buildings, are made, then this will work just as you need it to. A few things in this book are a barn (of course), detached garage, storage building, and coops.
I installed "faux" stone for many years. Here is a trick that will set you apart from other installers...get yourself a couple cans of flat "camo" colored spray paint (like a tan, grey, olive green) depending on the color stone you are working with and use the paints to touch up any cut end or edge that is visible. Having these cans of paint in your bag of tricks will improve the look of your work, especially interior work that will be looked at closely for years. Keep up the great work, I enjoyed this vid very much!
That's cheating!
Tee hee.
I used to use that textured "stone" paint too on granite and similar stone.
I wanna see how you return this from the corner of a house to the next side of the house, or is this just a front facial? What he’s working on has different siding on the return.
Do the same thing. Thought I was the only guy. lol Im not ready to spend the $ on the saw he uses and am interested to hear what others are using. Ive got a very nice tile saw but reluctant to take it out on a siding job
Uhm this is my wifes utube subscription lol I own Alaska Homes and Interiors she has a diner.
@@analynelliott577 I always used a 4 inch Dewalt angle grinder with diamond blades. The saw costs about 90 bucks and the blades are fairly cheap and last for a long time. The diamond blades cut "faux" stones like butter.
I love how you describe why you do stuff and your attention to detail helps me build stuff properly and take pride in my work like you do. Thanks partner!
Yes absolutely! I’d love to see how all aspects of your materials are made. Brackets, lumber, rafters, steel, stone. Could be a really cool series I agree.
I have never seen this product before. I crapped my pants when he removed the top layer, and when he started unscrewing the other layers, I was sold on the product! I like this look and want to dress up my old house with this for curb appeal! I may even use some of it in creative landscaping and fencing! Amazing!
Been using this product for several years now, really like working with it, and of all the different brands I've used over the last 20+ yrs this one looks the best by far.
What's the life of this type of product?
Excellent demonstration/tutorial on Versetta Stone repair, installation, and how it works. Just one small but maybe not as small as you think issue. I know you are a serious proponent of the proper issue and wear of PPE. I see that you are taking measures to avoid/mitigate silica dust inhalation but even a small amount of silica dust inhalation can be deadly serious. Respirators are a pain in the neck sometimes but they ARE entirely worth the hassle. 10 or 20 years from now, you and your crew will be thanking yourself for it. Great video! Learned a LOT! Looking forward to your next video. Sure wish your crew covered Tennessee.
I would love to keep watching a new series of yours on “HOW ITS MADE.” I really like watching your install magic. Thank you!
I'd love to see how the versetta stone is made.
Philip Ruhland it’s just concrete poured into moulds
I’d like to see the hand painting of each concrete moulded stone.
Philip Ruhland hey do you know what those boots are called
Philip Ruhland and what kinda pants are those
You won't be able to see as is made in Taiwan and is a sweat shop where these Artisans get paid 10 cents a day
Hey Kyle I do masonry up in Wisconsin and we use a wet tile saw on any dry stack panels instead of our IQ saw. It has less chip out and you can still rip the panels down a little more accurately than a German saw. Also the tile saw keeps the dust down on rips. We mostly only do dry stack panels on fireplaces indoors and we personally have never used the Versetta products but they seem like a good alternative.
Yes would love to see how that product is made. I’m very interested in putting this on my house when I reside it
I'm a installer in Tucson. This is beyond hard core doing this in the winter. Tough as nails glad to see this
Absolutely would love to see how that stuff is made. Love the look of it. Great product.
I've watched a good 2 years worth of your videos now and both your tool and product selections are wonderful. It'd be super awesome if you had a resource/listing for what your materials are called, what they look like, and where they can typically be found. Thank you RR team!
Installed a small amount of this. I like it. Recent reports have shown the traditional "lick and stick" is holding moisture and rotting the substrate. Versetta stone leaves an air gap, to aid in drying.
Really great to see a completely finished job, absolutely first class work.
Yes I would like to see how they are made. We too have a shop going up this summer and are looking for some sort of stone look in front of our building.
Looks good Kyle. Love your channel. Love Versetta stone. Did a large project about 4 years ago that looked exactly like this front. We bought an old bowling alley building and converted it to 7 condo units. The only difference to the look compared to yours was we used horizontal Hardy board to finish the exterior above the flashing of the the Versetta !!
When it's winter, and it's brutal for building, sure hit the road and bring the channel to the mfrs. Sounds great!
I've never done any building stuff I my life but watching this stuff is so fascinating, I think I may try to go out and learn some stuff
I would love to see this manufactured. I'm not a contractor, but a fairly skilled home owner that also has a rental. This looks like it could very reasonably be installed by the end user. I love the fact that it is screwed into place and doesn't require any mortar.
Would love to see how the stone is made, also would like to see how your metal is made for your buildings. Love your channel and all the tips and tricks you offer.
It would definitely be cool to see how it is made, but also some long term installs to indicate how well it stands up to the elements in various parts of the country.
Definitely would be interested - from everything from lumber mills to cement manufacturing plants to concrete batch plants to quarries. People don't get to see how 'stuff is made'.
I remember when u guys built this originally...cool to see it finished on the inside...I also like the exposed conduit very easy to add on to
Yes, I would like to see how the stone is made.
I remember when this stuff started to come out. Looks a lot better than I thought it would
Watching products get made would definitely be something I would like to see!
yes definately would like to see how things like this are made.
Would be cool to see how its made, thanks for the vid !
Thanks stan
Buy a real veneer stone siding, then make mold from it with fiber glass, pour concrete on the mold, color it.
@@fraided88 so basically you’re telling him to become a stone veneer manufacture..
How it’s made video, ask and ye’ shall receive .. czcams.com/video/dQw4w9WgXcQ/video.html
I use a 4 1/4" hand grinder with a diamond blade on it. It especially works nice when you have to fine tune something to fit such as corner pieces. Sometimes you have to relief the back side of things to get them to fit tighter.
Between you and Matt Risinger, I think you joining in the "How its made" would be phenomenal. Matt provides many of the top tier products which are often outside the price range for the areas I work. But these products you use are bang on and I would love to see the factory tours!
Hopefully these folks are excited to involve you.
I think we can make
It work
I've ordered three shipments of this to Oregon, twice arriving with every single panel broken in half of severely scuffed. It is a very soft concrete mix. Remember how far its going to be shipped and how fragile it is if you're not in Illinois. Great vids Kyle and team, appreciate the video quality and editing.
Would like to see how it’s made. Already learned a lot about the product just from this video
Very nice build. Love the way the inside was done for sure. I really like metal liner, but the plywood is flat and you can put anything you want on that wall. Versetta makes some nice faux stone. Super fast to install.
Thanks for the content Kyle! Hope you got to Enjoy our couple of crazy 60+ degree days before we Enjoy more crappy Midwest weather. 😂
Thanks again @RR Buildings 👊
Love to see a "How its Made" series.
Yes! That would be great
I'd love t see different options of this stone, aways great ideas!
Versetta stone teached me good at speaking right. It gived me a solid rock in life stuff. On the real. Your videos are a huge inspiration to me. Thanks for doing you.
Kyle thanks for sharing this. Great work! A tour seeing how Versetta Stone is made would be cool. Showing how your Glulam Posts and metal panels are made would be educational too.
I'd like to see how Versetta Stone is made.
I'd never even heard of this product, but I am super interested in knowing more about it and would love to see a tour.
It’s very easy to install, I did it for the first time and it was one of the easiest jobs I’ve ever done. Rent a decent watersaw, start off level, be sure there’s no debris where they lock together and have a ball. There’s nothing to it, it is pricy, but it’s awesome!
Excellent video! I have a commercial warehouse and want to add this product to it - as well as my phase 2 build out! You did an outstanding job on this video! Excellent explaining the product!
Best panelized stone veneer I have seen... way more seamless look than the other options I have seen in the field.
I’d like to see more cool things like the stone. You’re doing a great job man. Thanks for the content
You could always try a wet tile saw cutter, like the ones from DeWalt and Ridgid. They can easily cut natural stone (marble, granite, etc.), bricks (although it will shorten the lifespan of the blade) and glass (using a diamond blade)! The overspray of water, from the pump meant to cool the blade, will keep whatever you're cutting moist, keeping dust to a minimum.
This is my favorite building. I wish I could transplant it into my yard. You guys do such awesome work.
Thanks for showing the inside finish. The white walls and ceiling really brighten the place up. Thanks again.
I’d love to see how Versetta stone is made. Also love to see how your steel is manufactured. Great vid thx
Nice concise to the point video full of great information. Super excellent, thanks!
I really like the look of versetta stone, I am planning on doing a course of it on the front of my house. This video was great to show how nice and simple it can be to install. Thanks!! I wouldn't mind seeing how its made either!
There is something very satisfying about seeing tools and products that just work.
I also would love to see how this stone is made
RR buildings even gets DOT to watch LOL
We always cut with a skill saw and a diamond cut blade. Or a grinder with a diamond cut blade. Great stone. Love the black they got. Nice work guys
Man, I am about to install this versetta stone tomorrow. I was looking on internet for some guidance on that, and than boom 💥, you show up. I am a big fan of you on Instagram, and actually, I saw this product on one of yours stores. What I am trying to say is: thank you man, I learned a lot today. Ps. Sorry about my inglês, I am a Brazilian, and I don't know much English yet. I am learning a little be of everything. Tkx bro
I would like to see how versetta stone is made, it sounds really interesting
I was just wondering, the other day, if anybody uses this stuff. Good to see a video like this
Another vote to see how Versetta stone is made. Also, big thank you to the owner for allowing us to see the finished inside.
How It's Made was one of my favorite TV shows. So heck yeah! Any chance you get to tour a factory and see how something is made, please do!
Yes please , favorite show used to be “ how it’s made”.
me too
Look 's like cleaning the stone would be a lot easier9.
Where can I buy it
I would absolutely love to see how the versetta stone is made, among any other company you use. You ask very good questions during the time you are talking to a manufacture.
Hand painted! That's crazy! Would love to see that!
DUDE, awesome video, love this product cant wait to use it this summer. Great explanation on the details and tips. Thank you!!
We use a tile saw with water and it goes through it like Kyle says, "like butta!" Great vid. Thanks.
yes that is a great way too...I just don't like dealing with water in winter lol
I like how he says that it's virtually impossible to put similar Stones next to each other because of the lineal feet that is capable before it repeats but then he happens to put two matching stones right on top of each other.
this guy is so thorough. from now on whenever customers tells me "good job" I'm going to say "no, no it's really not"
Yes I would love to see the manufacturing facility !
I used this product. Short learning curve, easy install. Used it for exposed foundation and porch columns with copper corners that worked flawlessly. Best of all it looks Killer.
“80 sq’ with no repeats”
First 2 pieces placed look almost identical lol 😂
Looks amazing regardless and definitely a product I’ll be using in the future
I was gonna say the same thing. The only difference between the two is the color.
Great job as always. Very good workmanship and very professional and informative. Thanks.
We have installed a fair amount of this. I like it. I feel it is much better, in the long run, than lick and stick.
I want to see the house remodel
G00D Morning from Auckland, New Zealand it’s Sunday, February 2, 2020.
Yes please do try and get the factory to provide us a video tour of their product. Thanks for showing us this.
As a former mason, my initial thought is that I hate it. But it actually looks really good. The rain screen feature is great. Nice video.
I would like to see behind the seance at the factory
Is there actually anybody that wouldn’t like to see how the Versetta Stone is made? I don’t think so lol
Is asking where its made to much
Love to see the install of the stone.
This is a very nice product and when it comes time to build our cabin I will look into it for certain. I know I have seen many of your projects with this faux stone so keep up the great work.
"How It's Made- RR Buildings Edition" I'd watch that!
So it’s a formed concrete? I’m wondering about putting it inside my house on the wall behind my wood burning stove
Lord Marshall - EXACTLY what I’m considering as well. 👍🏻
Heck yeah that be cool to see how that’s made because when I build my new house I was really looking at that type of mortar stone look
Yes, we would love to see how the versetta stone & other products are made. I love versetta stone!
Can't believe Carson Wentz took the time to help us out
"it not like the bible i dont have to live by it"-Kyle reminds me of "if its off a bit, life goes on" - Larry Haun
Larry was awesome. Miss his video series. One of the great teachers. Kyle, Check out some of his series if you haven't already.
James here good to see someone take pride in their work I'm a finish carpenter so i appreciate your attention to detail i bought a house in Clyde Texas and this is something I'm extremely interested in this look along with the metal siding nice job
“BEST looking” should be hyphenated in your video title. With the way you have the title written now, you are talking about something called looking faux stone and describing this type of it as the best.
Makes sense
Oh hell yes, seeing how it is made would be amazing. Do it for all the major products you use, people will love it and it will be good for everyone.
That shop is gorgeous inside and out.
Absolutely, I would love to know how these things are made. Great videos guys. Keep it up. 👍
My husband and I retired, now we are learning to build, because of you. Thank you
Are you seriously serious that's a great idea
That Versetta stone does look good man. Would love to see how it, as well as other, products are manufactured. Good job as usual! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I'm finishing my garage. I used Coronado stone, which does require glue up and grout/masonry work. I also installed a 15000 BTU minisplit heatpump head in the garage, and insulated the garage walls to R-23...the apartment over the garage is nearly R-60 at the roofline.
That said, I am getting ready to finish, and am looking at epoxy floor finishes, I am also just about set on the New Age garage cabinets that are shown in this video as well. Good to see an interior that is finished the direction I am heading with my project.
love the building tour.that milwaukee saw was sweet.and would love to see how things are made.
I enjoyed this video, that you do go back and redo anything that requires it and seeing the finished product 👍👍
Yes . I would like to see how this is made. That would be a great addition to the channel.
I’d be very interested in seeing how the factory works and how they build the bricks. This was a cool episode. Thank you.
Looks great, I would love to see how its made. I recently found you on youtube. Im learning alot from your vids. Keep up the good work!
I love the look of this. Was really curious how it was made, but then you mentioned that it’s hand painted and now I’m really curious! Hope you can show us how it’s made in the future!
And how the top flange is hand set in there, as well
