Full Bed Stone Veneer
Take Your Building To The Next Level With Cut-To-Size Full Bed Veneers
Utilize full bed stone veneer to build efficient, cost-effective masonry walls for buildings, landscapes, or parks and plazas.
Full masonry veneer is the oldest and most time-tested method for using natural stone in wall construction, a practice that has been seen all around the world. Utilizing full bed stone veneer allows you to build efficient, cost-effective masonry walls.

The weight of the full bed stone veneer is supported by the courses of veneer below, generally up to 25’ maximum height.
Thin Stone Veneer
Flexible Design Options With Adhered Masonry Veneer
AMV systems are an attractive and reliable alternative for traditional mass masonry or veneer cavity walls.
Adhered masonry veneer (AMV) systems are an attractive and reliable alternative for masonry walls in commercial and institutional facades. They provide a cost-effective solution using Polycor thin stone veneer secured directly to the wall substrate through mortar adhesion.
Natural thin stone veneer offers a flexible design option allowing commercial property owners to keep the natural stone in the facade, even when budgets or design considerations don’t allow the use of full-sized masonry units. Aesthetically, Polycor adhered stone veneer has the appearance of a traditional mass masonry wall or veneer cavity wall, but the anchorage of the cladding relies solely on the mortar adhesion.
