Grouting our Stone Veneer - The FINAL STEP
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 ноя 2023
- Much like tile, grouting stone veneer makes the whole wall come together and look complete. This was a pretty long and tedious process, but in the end it was totally worth it. We love how it turned out!

The stone Veneer looks great. That process was very popular in the 1960's, glad it making a comeback.
Thank you! It seemed to work really well. It took awhile but the result was totally worth it.
You have some great guys coming to help with your home. Keep those memories close.
The job looks fantastic!
The stone veneer turned out great. Your attention to detail is 2nd to none. Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much!!
I did stacked stone no grout specifically in order to avoid what you got into and when you decided to go down that path, I was like "uh oh. Don't do it." But you are right, it came out looking very nice. Lotta work, but very nice. Enjoying catching up on your videos.
Thank you! It was definitely pretty tedious but love how it turned out
Great video Alex and Elaina
Looks fantastic!
You two are remarkable, it’s obvious that you have the patience of a monk! Great job!
Thank you for the kind words! Some tasks require a bit more patience than others to get it exactly how we want it. This was definitely one of those projects!
I used natural stone veneer from a local quarry for my indoor fireplaces, it's look great!
It's tough to beat the look!
looks great
Thank you! We are happy with how it turned out!
Nice!
Looks good
Thank you! Installing natural stone veener has definitely taken us longer than we initially thought but it's worth it!
Nice worK and great result. Too late now, but masons I've seen packing dry mix use a mortar hawk to hold the a blob of mix up to the area they're working so they can just push it sideways into the joint. Goes pretty quick that way, but also clean.
Thank you!! That is basically what we did except with a trowel instead of a hawk. It was easier to maneuver the trowel at all the odd angles
hugely labor intensive, but looks great!
Mortar bags/guns bung when there's none or not enough lime in the mix
The joints look really good. Yes, you cannot pay a worker to do it right. You would go broke, and it probably would still not be right. A DIYer can learn the attention to detail, as you say. It takes time and patience. And you need to go back and clean the stones before the errant grout sets up. The results are very satisfying because you did it yourself, it will last a long time, and it looks great.
Thanks Kevin!! The ones we did ourselves we rubbed the excess grout off the stone edges with a dry piece of burlap once it was no longer wet but before it fully cured and that helped a lot. Tried to do it on the first round but clearly not well enough 😁
You might want to try some muriatic acid for removing that excess grout from the surface of the stone.
The masons mentioned the same, they did warn though that it can discolor the stone and grout if left on too long or mixed too strongly. We opted for the water method even if it's slower, since it's easy and low risk of hurting anything
Dude just cut the tip back on the bag to make a bigger opening on the end
We cut it all the way - didn't help
This grouting technique is not difficult. Your "stone mason" should be able to figure it out.
Maybe with plasticizer added but the end result of hand packing was better. Much more densely packed and less mess on the face of the stone.
