Natural Stone Exterior Cladding & Masonry

Natural stone provides a substantial, architectural exterior finish for custom homes, exterior renovations, multi-family properties and new construction. Natural stone can be used across complete elevations or as an accent material around entrances, columns, garages, foundations, feature walls and other areas where additional texture and visual depth are desired.

Diamond Exteriors coordinates natural stone as part of full-scope exterior projects throughout Kelowna, West Kelowna, Lake Country, Peachland, Summerland, Vernon and surrounding Okanagan communities. Stone can be combined with fibre-cement siding, James Hardie siding, metal cladding, architectural panels, wood-look siding, stucco and other exterior finishes to create a coordinated mixed-material facade.

The finished stone is only one part of the exterior assembly. Proper transitions between natural stone and adjacent siding or cladding require attention to weather-resistive barriers, flashing, drainage, penetrations, wall openings and material changes. Diamond Exteriors approaches these details as part of the complete exterior system rather than treating masonry as an isolated decorative feature.

On exterior renovation projects, removal of existing siding or cladding can expose the underlying sheathing, weather barrier and flashing conditions. This allows surrounding building-envelope components to be reviewed before new natural stone and adjacent exterior finishes are installed.

Natural stone can work particularly well on larger siding replacement and exterior renovation projects where the objective is to substantially change the appearance of a home or building. Stone sections can provide contrast against clean fibre-cement siding, architectural metal panels or modern wood-look cladding while creating a durable, high-end exterior appearance.

Diamond Exteriors provides complete exterior renovation, siding replacement, custom cladding, masonry coordination, soffit and fascia, gutter systems, rainscreen installation, weather-resistive barriers and custom exterior flashing.

For homeowners, builders, developers and multi-family property owners looking for natural stone exterior installation in Kelowna or the Okanagan, Diamond Exteriors can coordinate the stone with the surrounding siding, cladding and building-envelope components as one complete exterior scope.
