Stacked Stone vs. Ledger Panels vs. Thin Veneer: What’s the Difference?
This technical guide clarifies the critical distinctions between thin stone veneer, ledger panels, and full-bed stone to prevent costly architectural specification errors. We analyze the engineering shift from Neolithic dry-stack methods to modern CNC-precision interlocking systems, focusing on the 8-12 lbs/sq.ft weight standard that eliminates the need for structural footings. Designed for B2B procurement managers, this analysis covers HS Code classification, same-batch quarry consistency, and the ROI of utilizing modular Z-shape panels for high-volume commercial facades.
