Indoor Accent Walls
A stone wall inside the house — fireplace, entry, or a full height — in a line we actually deal.
Who it is for
Living rooms, entries, dining walls, and fireplace faces that want Masonal, Cultured Stone, Pangaea, or Banas on the inside.
What done looks like
Corners are real returns, the joint is the joint that profile wants, and the stone stops cleanly at the trim, the ceiling, or the opening.
What to send
A photo of the wall, the height, and whether it wraps a corner or stops at a door. Name the stone if you have already chosen it.
On this line
Which stone inside
Masonal ledgestone, rubble, or the Contemporary 3-inch and 5-inch courses. Cultured Stone ledgestone or fieldstone. Pangaea veneer. Banas wall stone. The room picks the face. The wall picks the weight.
Dry stack, only when it belongs
Some contemporary Masonal and some manufactured profiles can go tight-jointed inside. Drystack on an outside wall is a different detail, and often the wrong one. Say which side of the glass the wall is on.
The fireplace is still masonry
An accent around an Isokern, a Rumford, or a listed unit includes the hearth and the clearances. The pretty wall does not replace the firebox.
Outside the same stone
If the accent continues through to a gable or a wainscot, that course gets flashing. Interior stone copied onto an exterior wall without it will fail.
Questions
Can one stone run inside and out?+–
Often, if the profile is made for both and the exterior is flashed. We will not run an interior-only detail through the weather.
Do you build a stone wall in a bathroom?+–
A dry accent, yes. A shower is a waterproofing job first. Say if water will hit the stone.
