What Does Dry Stack Stone Mean?

If you’ve been looking for home renovation inspiration, and you have an eye for the contemporary, you may have heard of the term dry stack stone. But what does dry stack stone mean — and what separates it from other types? Dry stack stone refers to the placement of stones that doesn’t show mortar or grouting. Also called groutless or mortarless stone, dry stack means the stone patterns don’t have the white seams of grout between pieces. Whether you place individual stones — or install panels of dry stacked stone veneer like we build — you’ll create the unique mortarless look.

This dry stacked installation creates a pattern that has very clean and defined lines. Plus, without the grout, the focus stays entirely on the beautiful stone pieces. The primary reason that dry stacked stone is trendy right now is that it fits very well into contemporary spaces.

One of the best ways to understand, “What does dry stack stone mean?” is to see pictures of it. Check out our inspiration gallery to explore projects made with dry stack stone veneer!

Benefits of Affinity’s Dry Stack Cultured Stone

You have an understanding of what dry stack stone means for modern designs. Now comes the matter of doing the installation — and this is one more place our dry stack cultured stone really shines.

The vast majority of stone manufacturers expressly recommend against dry stacking their stones. This is because water gets behind the individual stones and freezes, causing stones to pop off. However, many homeowners and contractors ignore this and dry stack anyway — they just need to deal with gluing a few stones back on every year. Plenty of people do this. (That’s how desirable the dry stacked look is!)

However, there’s a better way…
