Who Owns Versetta Stone?

Versetta Stone was developed inside Boral's North American stone veneer business, which Boral had assembled through its 2014 acquisition of Cultured Stone from Owens Corning and its 2016 purchase of Headwaters, which brought Eldorado Stone. Boral's product teams designed Versetta as a faster installation format: instead of individual stones set in mortar, Versetta uses interlocking panelized boards of manufactured stone that screw to the wall like siding.

The format addressed a real constraint in the siding and remodel market, where mason labor is scarce and expensive. A carpenter could install a stone accent wall or full facade with the same tools used for lap siding, at a fraction of traditional masonry labor cost.

Westlake's October 2021 acquisition of Boral's North American building products businesses brought Versetta Stone into a portfolio already strong in exterior cladding. The combined business took the Westlake Royal Building Products name in 2023.
