How Long Does Manufactured Stone Siding Last + Other Answers

Knowing how long manufactured stone siding lasts is something that matters to both homeowners and contractors shopping for materials. You can expect our high-quality manufactured stone panels to last for 50 years at a minimum, but they’ll likely last several decades longer!

When considering the lifespan of manufactured stone, we often like to say that it will easily outlast your roof’s asphalt shingles and probably even be around longer than the vinyl siding it sits next to. On top of that, very little maintenance is needed to ensure that it performs and looks as good as the day it was installed. While sealing is an option, it is not needed to prevent moisture infiltration and to protect the product. And if you do need to clean the veneer to get rid of dirt, all you need is a soft bristle brush and a mild detergent.

While our panels are very strong, there are a few things that can damage them that you need to keep in mind. Firstly, never power wash your stone veneer siding. Not only is this level of power unnecessary to get it fully clean, but the pressure can peel the face of the stone off. In addition, a constantly flowing stream of water (such as from a downspout) will erode a path through the stone and strip away the color.

The Smart Benefits of Our Stone Veneer

While our stone veneer siding lasts 50+ years and looks incredible — the installation takes mere hours. Compared to traditional stone panels, our product takes approximately 80% less time to fully install on your home. This is great news for enterprising DIYers and busy contractors alike. In almost every case, you can start and finish installing your Affinity Stone veneer in a single day!

This time savings comes from our innovative tongue and groove construction that lets the panels snap together — and from the screw-on installation. Not only is this method more time-efficient, but it provides the popular dry-stack style without having to worry about panels ever popping off.

These are just a few of the reasons that people say we build the best stone veneer!

In addition to building beautiful and durable stone veneer panels, we also bring the Affinity advantages to column wrapping as well. Our new column kits once again drastically reduce your install time — and are built with the same long-lasting quality!
