Introducing: New Versetta Stone Accessories & Accessory Colors

Versetta Stone trim stone accessory

Westlake Royal Building Products™ is expanding its Versetta Stone™ siding line with a new Large Light Box and new colors for stone accessories.

Featuring panelized installation, Versetta Stone siding provides the beauty and texture of authentic stone masonry without the added skill and time required for installation. The siding panels combine seamlessly with Versetta Stone accessories—including universal corners, wainscot cap/sills, receptacle boxes, and light boxes—to create a fully finished look. Every component works as a system with the stone siding panels and is made with the same premium materials and in coordinating styles, colors, and textures.

The accessory expansion includes new Large Light Boxes, measuring 9.5” by 15”. Like the smaller Light Boxes, the new size provides a finished look behind sconces at the home’s front entryway, garage, and rear entry. The new Large Light Boxes come in Charcoal, Stone Grey, and Taupe, which coordinate with Versetta Stone’s siding profiles and color palette.

In addition, three existing accessories have new color options:

  • Trim Stone is now available in Stone Grey (pictured above) as well as Taupe and Charcoal. The Trim Stone measures 36” by 9-1/2” and has a 8.2” exposure.
  • Starter Strips also are now available in Stone Grey in addition to Taupe and Charcoal. Starter Strips come in 10’ lengths, install with mechanical fasteners, and have built-in weep holes for drainage.
  • J-Channel offerings now include Charcoal and Stone Grey as well as Taupe. J-Channel comes in 10’ lengths.

Versetta Stone siding and accessories coordinate to create a flawless exterior, and the new sizes and colors provide contractors and DIYers alike with more options than ever to elevate their homes’ curb appeal in a way that is beautiful, cohesive, and unique.
