Pioneer Installation Systems™ is a complete installation solution created to support the proper application of Pioneer Stone’s MSV profiles. The system consists of manufacturer-recommended materials that are specifically selected to work together with our stone veneer, helping ensure correct installation and reliable performance.
Rather than sourcing installation components from multiple suppliers, Pioneer Installation Systems™ provides a unified approach—pairing Pioneer Stone veneer with the exact materials required for its installation. This system is designed to support industry standards, reduce installation errors, and promote long-term durability. By using a coordinated installation system, contractors, builders, and homeowners can better understand how Pioneer Stone is intended to be installed and achieve consistent, professional results on every project.
HydroShield™ 100% Acrylic Textured Waterproof Coating is an exclusive product of Pioneer Installation Systems™, specifically engineered for use during the installation of manufactured stone veneer. Designed to integrate seamlessly into the Pioneer Stone installation process, HydroShield provides critical moisture protection where it matters most—behind and beneath the veneer system.
Formulated for interior and exterior applications, above, on, or below grade, HydroShield delivers a flexible, breathable, and mildew-resistant waterproof barrier that helps bridge cracks while allowing water vapor to escape. It withstands up to 10 PSI of hydrostatic pressure and features a low VOC, low-odor composition for easy application on the jobsite. Versatile enough to be used as a primer or finish coat—and compatible with acrylic topcoats for enhanced durability—HydroShield reinforces long-term performance and system integrity when installing manufactured stone veneer.
