Core offering

Evolve Stone manufactures and sells the world's first nailable, mortarless, color-throughout manufactured stone veneer for residential and commercial interior and exterior applications. The product installs with a standard finish nailer (no mortar, lath, or specialized masonry tools required), is approximately half the weight of competing stone veneer at ~2 lbs/sq ft, and is ICC-ES listed. The portfolio includes five stone styles and seven colors, with accessories such as corners, sills, and rainscreens.

Product overview

Evolve Stone offers a mortarless, color-throughout manufactured stone veneer system consisting of five distinct stone styles (Capital Sky, District View, Georgetown Run, National True, and Monument Gate) available in seven colors (Dune Point, Kodiak Mine, Morning Aspen, Phantom Shadow, River Clay, Afternoon Vale, and Winter Valley). The core portfolio is complemented by accessory products including corners, sills, and rainscreens for proper installation. Sample products allow customers to evaluate the material before purchase. The key differentiator is the world's first nailable stone veneer that installs with a standard finish nailer without mortar, hardware, or specialized labor, reducing installation time by up to 10X compared to traditional stone veneer.
