Clipstone - Faux Stone Veneer That Won't Rot Sheathing

At JLC-Live, Tim Healey, finds a new stone siding that might not rot the sheathing off a house.

Accidentally bought a pallet. Price was right, and fit into the budget. Galvanized ledger. Ice & water shield, then Tyvek. Tabs make stones adjustable. Looks fabulous. Everyone who sees it agrees. Dry,dry, dry. LOVE this product. Will be using this on my next build! Hear some negative comments. Leaning towards operator error or lack of an eye for installation. From Wisconsin, state motto - “Forward!”

Lots of screws behind stone so water will get to osb and rot. A rubberized membrane like the blue wrap would be better because all those screws will be water tight going through that membrane. Not with a house wrap or felt.

Amazing! We're researching for brick/stone veneers for our oil shop.

How do you anchor it to a brick wall

[@klittle3147]

Good product. It would be great if you could actually purchase it somewhere besides Lowe’s (who knows nothing about it). It’s a pain to try to purchase.

[@brownreclaimed987]

Menards has this in Ohio

Difficulty of installing over brick?

[@Karimk207]

We don't do it this way incorrectly

[@candyvera7310]

[@VanLifeStorytelling]

Cool. I am purchasing a tiny ho0me in which I am looking for a stone skirting below the home sitting on the trailer. Would this application work?

[@danfiorini785]

Any corner pieces? Or are you trying to miter them and match them up?

Who gives a shit?

Stainless screws will rust over time and possibly make the whole wall a hazard.

[@COULDbWORSE1]

Vital Ral stainless don't rust.

[@Chimonger1]

Depends on the grade of stainless steel. Lower grades rust, because those contain more iron. Higher grades really do not rust...that is, IF they rusted, it'd be in many decades down the road..._if_. One larger issue, was: he used longer screws than necessary to pin stone siding to sheathing, which makes potential leak-pathways at each penetration. Also, depending on the thickness of the wall, and how much insulation is in it, this stone system could move the location of the dew-point inside a wall; might want to try that sharkskin peel-and-stick barrier, which seals around the screws as those go in. Even add exterior firring + insulation, to bring the dew-point outside the original wall.

[@garychios]

Real Stainless does not rust. China Stainless with high iron ore does rust

[@1PITIFULDUDE]

If your fasteners are magnetic, take/send them back and get some that are not. The movement test, with a strong magnet, should be absolute zero movement; zero attraction.

[@hok4952]

China stainless yes, good stainless screws will last longer then the average human

[@jasonhite5512]

They will create all kinds of new applications to make a buck...This shit us ridiculous...
