Modular Mountain Retreat Project

Cultured Stone® Facade Video

Mark Murphy from Owens Corning shows Bob a new man-made stone product for the exterior of the modular home project. Southern Ledge Stone and Dressed Fieldstone (both in the color Bucks County) are molded from natural stones. Cultured Stone product is much lighter than natural stone as pumice, a volcanic stone, is used as filler in combination with Portland cement. It is colored with iron oxide and other natural pigments to give it the “fresh from the ground” look of real stones. The installation of manmade stone is much simpler than real stone, as without the weight, the stones are adhered directly to the wall with standard mortar and no sill or base is needed to hold them. Owens Corning produces nineteen types of cultured stone in a variety of colors. The cost of the product installed is about 50 percent of natural stone.
