Ledgestone (also known as ledger stone or stacked stone) may be trending right now, but its beauty has gone back years and years. The only real difference between then and now is that nowadays, you can achieve the ledgestone look using a stone veneer instead of having to lay and grout in each stone individually. So what is ledgestone, and why is it so popular? Today we’ll hopefully answer all of your questions about how this fantastic material can upgrade your home.

Ledgestone i hana ʻia

Manufactured ledgestone can look like natural ledgestone at first glance, but they’re not the same thing. Often manufacturers will take an impression from natural stone to make the manufactured stone so the two products may look similar. Manufactured ledgestone is usually made from concrete, porcelain, or polyurethane, so it is probably cheaper up front, but it might not hold up as well as natural stone in the long run.

He aha nā kala i loaʻa?

Pretty much any color you can find in natural stone, you can find in ledgestone, so you’re sure to find something that will fit into your aesthetic. The most common colors are brown, multi-colored, gray, white, beige, and black. Depending on the type of stone you choose, you will have more or less veining and color variance from one piece of stone to another.

ʻO nā koho hoʻopau maʻamau ʻelua he maka ʻokiʻoki a hoʻonani ʻia, ʻoiai hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa i nā ʻāpana like ʻole o ka pōhaku poli.

Polished finishes are less common because you can achieve the same look using less expensive tile, but it’s still out there. It probably won’t be perfectly smooth, but it will definitely be smoother than split face.

Ledgestone is pretty easy to care for, and it doesn’t need much maintenance. Simply dust as often as necessary using a lint-collecting cloth, and clean using a pH-neutral cleaner that is safe for stone. Once a year, you may want to seal it to help keep its natural luster, and that’s pretty much it!
