The Belterra Collection from Silvermine Stone is a mortarless stone-veneer product that offers moisture protection and the aesthetic of real stone. Because the manufacturer’s flashing and fastening system creates a shingling effect on the wall to keep water away from the home’s substrate, only a single layer of weather resistive barrier and no drainage plane or multilayered systems are required. The 24-inch-by-6-inch flat panels are attached with pan-head screws without the need for lath, scratch-coat, or mortar. The veneer is priced at $18 to $20 per square foot. silverminestone.com
