Abstract

A pre-cast concrete veneer panel system for attaching to a wall surface. The pre-cast concrete veneer panels comprise a surface having simulated stone regions surrounded by simulated mortar regions. The concrete veneer panels are sized and shaped to allow the panels to interconnect both vertically and horizontally in a manner which results in a wall facade having a random pattern of unique stones.
