No footings or support ledges are needed. The product is an adhered veneer and is supported on the wall by the bond of the mortar to the stone and scratch coat.

Footings and support ledges are not required for structural security. Stone veneer is supported on the wall by the bond of the mortar to the stone and scratch coat.
