I was thinking about having a real stone wall built in my office on one wall. My only issue is the weight. I've seen this done before in other homes but I wasn't sure if you have to beef up the foundation in order to carry the weight. The wall would be about 10 ft long and 8 ft tall. If it matters the wall would be located on the inside of an exterior wall along the foundation of the house.

It would be a lot easier and cheaper to just call a remodeler and have them cover the wall with the fake stone that you think is real stone...Comment

What kind of stone are you talking about? Real, dimensional stone or man-made?
And what kind of foundation?
You say "office" - is this a home-office or an office in a commercial building? EDIT: I see you said "other homes", so I'll assume this is your home. In that case - one story or two? Lower floor or upper?
Need moar details man!

It's a one story home and I would be using real stone. The stone wall would be built on top of the outer wall of the foundation if that matters and like I said it would be 10 feet long and 8ft high.Originally posted by TX_92_Notch View PostComment

Medium limestone is about 160lbs/ft3. A wall half foot thick would be near 6,400lbs will be 1,280lbs per square foot on foundation added. Go fake. http://www.simetric.co.uk/si_materials.htm sorry wrong link.Last edited by TexasDevilDog; 11-17-2010, 02:36 PM.class joke

most interior stone walls are just cladding on the outside of a traditional wall. Goes up similar to tile except it needs a scrim.Comment
