Has anyone ever used stucco to simulate stone? Any special things I should know to specify this appearance? Is it better to attempt this out of EIFS? Any specific manufacturers that produce this appearance better than others? Thanks! |

None of the "thin" systems will give you much of a stone effect, in that they do not have the depth to simulate the joints prevalent in stone work. You may be able to attain a stone surface appearance, but not much of a true overall stone profile/appearance. |

Below is a link to an article that appeared in the Construction Specifier. It should answer some questions for you. The stenciling process used to create the 'brick' can also be used to create stone. As previously posted, the effect is more 2 dimensional compared to real stone. The other process mentioned in the article is more natural looking. http://www.csinet.org/s_csi/docs/16000/15951.pdf |

mockup, mockup, mockup. this may be possible, but the success is going to be entirely dependent on how skilled the artisan is. You need to definitely pre-qualify whoever will be doing the work, and make sure the Owner likes the samples of previous work, as well as signs off on the mockup. |

Although the organization was formed by industry contractors, the old Plastering Institute, now Technical Services Information Bureau, is a source for information. They do have an "office" (or at least a presence) in Las Vegas, where a lot of that type of "thematic" art is done. |
