Stone Veneer Calculator — ft, sqft, cost
How to use this calculator
Select a stone type, enter wall dimensions (length × height), subtract openings (windows, doors), add corner linear feet, and set waste percentage. Results show flat area, corner pieces, mortar bags, metal lath rolls, and total cost.
Stone Types — Natural thin veneer, Manufactured/cultured stone, Fieldstone, Ledgestone. Coverage per box varies by type.
Corners — Subtract corner lf × 0.75 ft from flat area (corners cover ~0.75 ft² per lf).
Mortar & Lath — Optionally estimate mortar bags and metal lath rolls needed.

How to Calculate Stone Veneer Materials
This calculator estimates the quantity of stone veneer flats (ft²), corner pieces (linear feet), mortar bags, and metal lath rolls needed for a wall. Enter wall length and height, subtract window and door openings, add corner linear feet, and set a waste percentage (10–15% typical). The calculator deducts corner coverage (~0.75 ft² per lf) from the flat area.
Stone Types
Natural thin veneer: 1–1.5″ thick, 8–10 ft²/box. Manufactured/cultured stone: 8 ft²/box. Fieldstone: irregular, 5–6 ft²/box. Ledgestone: linear pattern, 6–8 ft²/box. Coverage varies by manufacturer.
Mortar & Metal Lath
Stone veneer mortar: approximately 4–5 bags (80 lb) per 100 ft². Metal lath (2.5 lb diamond mesh): one roll covers approximately 70 ft². Both are required when applying over wood-frame or foam sheathing.
