6 Myths & Misconceptions About Manufactured Stone Veneer
Manufactured stone veneer (MSV) has long since proven itself to be a go-to building material across residential and commercial interiors and exteriors, sought after for its looks, durability, and installation efficiencies. Yet some misconceptions still proliferate among those either unfamiliar with the material or new to the industry.
Here’s a look at some of the myths we hear most often — and what truths you need to know.
Myth #1: Manufactured stone is “not real” or “fake”
While manufactured stone veneer is not straight-from-the-ground natural, it is a genuine material crafted from concrete. Concrete has been relied upon as far back as Roman times and is often uncovered from ancient civilizations.
Every MSV master, which are created to make stone veneer molds, starts with natural stone. Advances in mold technology and a commitment to authenticity ensures today’s products replicate natural materials down to the smallest detail. What’s more, they do so without having to worry about culling waste due to flaws and inconsistencies that can occur in natural stone.
Myth #2: Manufactured stone is fragile
Manufactured stone veneer may be thin, but it is not fragile. MSV products undergo testing for compliance with ASTM and CSA standards to ensure quality and performance. Many products also are rated for resistance to fire, wind, and sound.
Myth #3: MSV takes away wall share
Manufactured stone delivers a number of benefits over natural stone that help increase versatility for pros and homeowners alike. Most notably, manufactured stone is lighter in weight, allowing for its use in areas where stone or brick may not otherwise be possible. MSV also provides flexibility for installers and designers: If there is an issue with a product, simply reach out to the manufacturer for expertise or a replacement. With natural stone, there’s not much to be done.
Myth #4: Manufactured stone is a DIY product
While manufactured stone is easier to install than natural stone, it still requires a skilled craftsman in most applications. Most MSV installers have undergone training and follow ASTM guidelines. CMHA also offers a Certified Installer program to increase expertise as well as efficiency.
Certainly, MSV is a great option for enhancing a kitchen backsplash or refreshing a fireplace surround. But it also is a go-to, high-performance material for many of the commercial and multifamily projects you see every day, and is part of the design spec for a number of restaurants and hospitality chains.
Myth #5: Manufactured stone causes water damage
Manufactured stone veneer is just like any other cladding product: It’s one component in a building envelope that depends on a systems approach to protect against water infiltration. The wall system must be properly designed and detailed behind the veneer, according to manufacturer specifications, including a weather barrier and proper flashing to allow moisture to escape.
In addition, some manufactured stone veneer materials have water repellency in their formulations to slow the spread of bulk water, something natural stone doesn’t have. MSV systems can also be designed with drainage planes to manage moisture.
Myth #6: Manufactured stone is hard to maintain
One of the benefits of manufactured stone veneer is that it requires very little maintenance. If cleaning is needed, simply wash it with a soft brush and an appropriate cleaner recommended by the manufacturer. Cleaning frequency is no more than you would see with natural stone or brick.
Manufactured stone veneer delivers the best of both worlds: The look of natural materials with the installation flexibility, versatility, and efficiency of a veneer. Have questions or want to learn more? Reach out to us here.

CMHA Midyear Meeting: Day 1 Recap
The 2024 CMHA Midyear Meeting officially kicked off today in Ottawa, Canada, bringing members together for a dynamic week of collaboration and connection. Day one was packed with activity. From key committee meetings to multiple town halls to welcome attendees, members also took advantage of valuable networking opportunities in between sessions.
Hardscapes Town Hall
The Hardscapes Town Hall brought together members interested in SRW and segmental concrete pavements, offering valuable insights into the latest industry developments. Key highlights included a presentation by Prof. Jennifer Drake on her PICP research in Canada, focusing on cold weather performance, pollutant reduction, and maintenance techniques.
She addressed the common misconception of “Frost Teeth,” stating, “It’s a myth for permeable pavements. It’s not something that they’re susceptible to.”
Prof. Drake also discussed the impact of U.S. federal policies in driving the industry forward and highlighted how permeable pavements help mitigate urban flooding by “reducing the volume, reducing peak flows, and delaying runoff.” She emphasized that flooding is “an issue of timing—too much in the same space at the same time.”
In her concluding remarks, Prof. Drake pointed to research showing that permeable pavements can “reduce the risk of slips and falls on outdoor pavements in the winter as long as they’re maintained properly,” making them a valuable asset in colder regions.
Dave Hein, P. Eng., shared findings from the Future Research Focus Group meeting sponsored by the ICPI Foundation, covering design, materials, and maintenance, and was honored with the CMHA Industry Champion Award for his efforts in promoting segmental concrete pavements. Gabriela Marscal, CMHA’s Division Engineer, introduced the newly released SRWall 5 software, showcasing its enhanced functionality, and Wayne Villaluna wrapped up the session by discussing hot topics that will be discussed at the Hardscape subcommittees, encouraging members to engage in the meetings this week.
Masonry Town Hall
The Masonry Town Hall speakers discussed the latest developments in the masonry industry. Adam Auer, President of the Cement Association of Canada, addressed the Canadian concrete industry’s efforts to tackle carbon-related issues and their market impacts.
He also outlined Canada’s strategy and highlighted crucial actions such as collaborating with governments to shape industrial policy and fostering education and engagement, drawing strong interest from the group.
“The competitiveness of our industry is at risk if we don’t stay ahead of the climate conversation. There is a global move to address the climate crisis – if we don’t define what net zero and sustainability mean to our sector, others will define it for us.”
Andrea McChesney, CCMPA Executive Director, and Bennett Banting, Director of Technical Services with the Canada Masonry Design Centre, provided an overview of Canadian masonry activities. Kim Spahn, CEO of the CMU Checkoff Program, shared updates on new marketing initiatives and introduced the director of the National Design Center, and Jeff Buczkiewicz, President/CEO of the Masonry Contractors Association of America, updated attendees on their recent efforts.
