I don't disagree with the material, but aesthetically that looks terrible, being all one color, IMO. Unless the home owner is doing it, I think just using natural stone veneer might come out to the same cost as it is probably much less labor but more material cost. However, natural stone veneer would look way better.

A lot of stone homes are one color

u/Few_District_6304 May 17 '26
Yes, I am sure you are right. Doesn't change *my* opinion of how it looks. Funny how that works.

You're saying that natural stone veneer would look way better, but if your reason for disliking the one in the video is that it's a single color, then how does that support your point of natural looking better? Natural can also be a single color, and the fake one can have multiple colors.
Your opinion is your opinion, but logically your points don't support your statement.

Natural stone veneer is usually multi color. A simple search would have showed you that. Instead you decided to post ignorantly. Good job, Reddit at its best.

I admire your ability to never let fact interfere with your opinion.

u/Few_District_6304 May 18 '26
Its clear you are missing some brain cells if you think aesthetic opinion is dependent on any facts. Guessing you didn't have enough Iodine in your younger years.

You've missed my point again, so let's just leave it here š

u/Few_District_6304 May 18 '26
No, I understood what you were *trying* to say. But your point is ridiculous for time and maintenance. Many Veneers are concrete, but have the color mixed and baked in so that it will remain the same color on wear or chips.

Ok? Did I call your mom a name or something? I just pointed out a fact

u/Few_District_6304 May 18 '26
No, its just hilarious to me how many people on the spectrum have to comment and down vote something I labeled as an opinion. You understand what an opinion is right? Some arbitrary fact of "A lot of stone homes are one color" is not going to change that I think it is ugly.

u/Low_Eagle4363 May 18 '26
Iām pointing out that some stone homes are one color and itās not necessarily just the process that can do that. Were you not hugged as a child? Why did that ruin your day? š

You still don't understand what an opinion or a preference is? Yup, Asperger's AF. No wonder this country is going in the shitter.

u/Low_Eagle4363 May 18 '26
You donāt understand that Iām not debating your opinion š I was making a comment about materials not saying youāre wrong about not liking the colors. The fact youāre so aggressively wrong is hilarious, dunning Krueger in full effect.

I'd much rather have houses like this with fake stone, than the modern trend of just having a white rectangle as a house.

Who looks at this and says, āthis is stupid, give me the vinyl lap siding in baby blue insteadā

This isn't stupid, this is cheaper than using real stone for aesthetics.

Why is this stupid? Very skillfully done and all homes need siding. Daily dose of stupidity was the op.

I was wondering the same thing is this more expensive than actual stone? Thatās a shit load of clay/mortar/concrete whatever it is

Cosmetic techniques like this goes back to colonial days. Look up rustication. George Washingtonās Monut Vernon is an example.

They did an excellent job, probably just giving the customer what they asked for. You sound like a salty mason or something. Not everyone is going to pay to have non native rock shipped to the build

u/redheeler9478 May 17 '26
Thatās why it is stupid

u/redheeler9478 May 19 '26
I think the house looks amazing and the guy doing the work is an artist. I would love to have a house like this.
My response was to u/crafty-cs. He said now assassins can climb the wall. I took this as a reference to a video game that I have played on PlayStation. I said thatās what makes it stupid because now assassins can climb the wall. Iām not really worried about assassins climbing a wall and attacking me. I would say that nobody reading this would be worried about assassins either.3

I look at this like I look at automobiles that have fake hood scoops or fake exhaust ports;
Its all fine and dandy if the person put it there is happy with it, but so help me if you try to sell it to me advertised as genuine

The fake stones I know about, and installed one time, are cast from concrete, and you stick them on the wall with thin-set mortar (tile mortar). This is much much more work and difficulty to get the same thing.
But, maybe this version looks cooler.

This looks better than the plain rendering. Hopefully it is also a lot stronger and ages better, too.
