Does Stacked Stone Improve Acoustics? Acoustic Wall Design for Home Theaters
This guide serves as a practical, job-site SOP for designers, contractors, and installers. It explains how to safely mount floating shelves and traditional mantels on stacked stone, how to anchor through 1-inch veneer into studs or structural backing, when to install the mantel relative to stone installation, how to manage uneven surfaces, and how to calculate load limits and heat clearances. Following these steps helps projects pass inspection, reduce callbacks, and maintain long-term structural safety.
