Q: What’s the difference between stone veneer and real stone?

• <div><p>Real stone is exactly what it sounds like: It&rsquo;s real stone sourced from the earth without additives. It is durable and unique, but it&rsquo;s difficult to work with because of its weight, challenge in sourcing, and high cost. Stone veneer mimics the look of real stone but is actually engineered with a mixture of Portland cement, natural minerals, and a colorant. While it&rsquo;s more affordable and easier to work with, it&rsquo;s less durable and may appear manufactured to the trained eye.</p></div>

Q: Is masonry more expensive than concrete?

• <div><p>Yes, masonry is more expensive than concrete because the labor is much more involved. With masonry, your expert will build your project from the ground up, one piece at a time, ensuring they use the proper amount of mortar or grout during construction and keeping the project level or plumb. Pouring concrete can also be labor-intensive, but it&rsquo;s a bit less involved. It requires building a mold, pouring the concrete, and letting it cure. The less intensive labor makes concrete a more affordable option in most cases.</p></div>

Q: Do you use mortar or grout for German smear?

• <div><p>In certain cases, such as when dealing with surfaces like concrete rather than brick, grout can be used instead of mortar. Grout tends to be more convenient to work with on non-masonry surfaces. However, many experts suggest using mortar whenever possible, as it provides stronger adherence to the bricks and results in a more textured appearance.</p></div>

Q: Why is it called cobblestone?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s called cobblestone because it&rsquo;s made of stones that are &ldquo;cobbed&rdquo; together. A cob is a term that refers to rounded lumps. Originally, cobblestone streets were made from pebbles and stones gathered from riverbeds that had been rounded over time by the passage of water. The term has nothing to do with a cobbler, which is the term for someone who makes and fixes shoes. </p></div>

Q: Can you drill into brick with a regular drill?

• <div><p>You may not need a hammer drill if you&rsquo;re planning on drilling one or two very small diameter holes in brick. For holes with a diameter of 3/16-inch or less, a regular drill with a masonry bit can do the job. However, the bit will heat up quickly, and the process will take significantly longer than with a hammer drill. Prepare to cool your drill bit down in a bucket of water more often. </p></div>

The experience with Facets was wonderful. Alicia, the designer, sat down and talked with my mother for about two hours gathering information such as how old the ring was, how it felt on her finger, if it felt tall or short, did she see this stone before that stone, etc. Then, Alicia drafted a...
