Our Stone Veneer Size & Thickness
Affinity Stone’s Cliff Ledge and Ridge Cut panels measure 25.5″ long by 12.13″ high, with a depth of 2.75″. Each box weighs approximately 135 lbs., making them durable, substantial, and perfect for achieving a high-end stone look with fewer, larger panels.
Small vs. Large Stone Veneer Panels
When choosing stone veneer for your project, size matters not just for aesthetics, but also for ease of installation, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Large stone veneer panels offer distinct advantages that make the ordering and installation process simpler and more streamlined.
One of the biggest benefits of large stone veneer is that you need to purchase fewer individual panels to cover the same area. This means less time spent handling and placing each piece, reducing labor costs and speeding up the installation process.
Additionally, large stone veneer panels are easier to transport and manage on-site. Instead of handling dozens of smaller pieces, you can move and install larger sections at a time, cutting down on waste and simplifying the logistics of your project.
At Affinity Stone, our panelized stone veneer system is designed with efficiency in mind—offering a seamless, high-end stone look with fewer pieces and less hassle.

How to Calculate How Much Stone Veneer You Need
With Affinity Stone, figuring out how much stone veneer you need is easy. We offer a free online calculator that does the math for you—just enter your project’s total square footage and the length of any outside corners, and it will instantly provide the exact amount of product you need!

Step 1: Measure the Square Footage of Your Project- Start by measuring the length and height of each surface you plan to cover. Multiply these numbers to get the total square footage. If you have multiple walls, calculate each one separately and add them together.
- Start by measuring the length and height of each surface you plan to cover. Multiply these numbers to get the total square footage. If you have multiple walls, calculate each one separately and add them together.
- 👉 Outside Corners (in linear feet): If your project includes corners, you’ll need corner panels, which are measured separately in linear feet rather than square feet.
- 👉 Starter Strip (in linear feet): This is essential for securing the first row of veneer panels and ensuring proper alignment. Measure the bottom edge of all installation areas to determine the total needed.
- 👉 Metal Edge Trim (in linear feet): Used for finishing exposed edges, such as around windows or doorways, or transitioning from our stone to another siding product. Measure any edges that will require a clean, polished look.
- 👉 Wainscot Cap (in linear feet): If your veneer is being used as a half-wall accent or wainscoting, measure the top edge length of the wall where the cap will sit.
- We recommend ordering an additional 5–15% to account for cutting, fitting, and material waste, depending on the application. For example, wainscoting on a pole barn may only require around 5% extra, while a gable on a garage or a fireplace with many cuts could need up to 15%. This ensures you don’t run short during installation.
By following these simple steps, you can confidently order the right amount of Affinity Stone veneer panels for your home or commercial project!
