Very ugly veneers once you see them in hand. The internet photos are catfishy (deceitful) because they show a nice looking realistic veneer, when they clearly are not. EvolveStone doesn’t make 90 degree corners, unlike EVERY other manufacturer of faux stone veneers . They also have a strong stench of dog milk bone treats - I wonder if bone meal was mixed into the formulation. These veneers are way too expensive to be this crappy looking. I returned both boxes for a full refund ($400) and purchased KoniBrick instead. Much better looking product %26 worked great for a quick upgrade to a porch foundation. KoniBrick was also less expensive , I got way more pieces per box same square footage.

Love it! Easy to work with normal wood working tools! When done, it looks like real stone!

TIP: Paint wall dark gray/slate/black to avoid showing through spaces.

TIP: After making cuts, cover exposed areas with a wood water sealer to even out color.

TIP: Use hammer to round over sharp edges so it looks more like a factory edge.

We bought 3 colors and mixed them up which made the install longer.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Went on great! Fast and easy attaching with my finishing nailer. Easy to sort pieces in a pattern that we liked. Looks and feels like real stone. We LOVE these Evolve stones. My wife and I had never built anything before and we decided to make a Fireplace with mantle and hearth as a BIG surprise for our girls for Christmas 2024. It looks so AWESOME. We are proud of ourselves and our little ladies LOVED it and LOVE sitting by the fire!

So pleased with Evolve Stone. This is the second project we’ve used it on and it holds up beautifully in our harsh winters and hot summers. Easy to install and looks like real stone. We especially appreciated the light weight of Evolve as real stone would have caused major structural complications/changes due to the heavy weight. Highly recommend!
