Frequently Asked Questions
How Resilient is Paleta Stone?
A: Since Paleta Stone is comprised of an advanced cement-based mix, it's average compressive strength is over 2000 PSI. With a bond strength exceeding 4 times that of typical thin-stone veneer mortars, Paleta Stone is a very durable finish.
Is Paleta Stone Siding fireproof?
A: Paleta Stone is non-combustible. This may provide insurance savings in some cases.
Does Paleta Stone provide a warranty?
A: Yes, Paleta Stone provides a 50 year limited residential warranty and a 20 year commercial warranty.
Is Paleta Stone susceptible to rot or Termites over time?
A: No. Paleta Stone is a cement material and is not susceptible to rot or Termites.
How does Paleta Stone pricing compare to brick, vinyl or composite siding?
A: Every project and market is different. Paleta Stone Finishes generally fall into pricing categories as listed below:
Is There a Minimum Project Size Requirement?
A: No, but we do have a minimum of $1,500 for small projects.
Will Paleta Stone colors fade over time?
A: Paleta Stone is permanently colored with iron-oxide cement pigments. As with natural stone or manufactured stone cladding, slight fading/weathering is normal over the long life-cycle of the cladding and is usually considered desired aesthetic with stonework. We recommend a sealing program that is typical with any premium masonry installation.
How thick are Paleta Stone Finishes?
A: The Paleta Stone system is approximately 5/8" thick at the face of masonry for exterior applications (this excludes substrate and drainage plane). For lighter weight interior applications, it can be installed at 1/4" - 3/8" and as thin as 1/8" at mortar joints. Our full wall cladding system is approximately 1-5/8" from the face of the base sheathing to the face of the stone or brick finish.
