Natural Thin Stone Veneer Products
Who chooses to install natural thin stone veneer?
Thin veneer stone is the choice of the discriminating homeowner and building contractor for many reasons. We discuss those reasons throughout this website and give you the opportunity to learn more about using natural stone facing to enhance your property.
What is this natural stone facing known as thin stone veneer?
Natural thin veneer stone is an authentic stone product shaped by nature. This is what all of the manufactured stone, cultured stone, fake stone, and artificial stone products try to duplicate using synthetic chemicals and various substances, though never do they come close to the beauty and durability of natural thin stone veneer, and aesthetically pleasing choice for both indoor and outdoor applications.
You just can’t perfectly replicate nature, but the good news is there is no need to do that because this natural stone facing contains all of the advantages of full depth stone and all of the convenience benefits of manufactured stone.
Why is natural thin stone veneer cut with special diamond-tipped saws to precise dimensions for architectural and structural strength?
By cutting natural stone into thin yet strong dimensions we are able to provide a strong yet lightweight authentic product including corner pieces and special angles so the finished project appears indistinguishable from full depth stone to all but the most discerning eyes.
Meanwhile you are using a greener product than full depth stone because it does not use as many natural resources per square foot of coverage, and also result in substantial shipping costs not to mention the easier installation and the advantage of having a lower stress load on your structure since weight can be an important consideration when it comes to natural stone facing.
Are there situations where natural thin stone veneer is the only suitable product to be used for a high quality outcome?
There are numerous applications where natural thin stone veneer is the only viable choice due to weight constraints (e.g., non-load-bearing walls) and space constraints (e.g., zero clearance fireplaces).
Are there any special maintenance issues for natural thin stone veneer? What about stone sealants?
One of the primary advantages of using natural thin veneer stone is that less maintenance is required. In areas that don’t freeze, such as much of the western coast, no sealant is required on the natural stone facing.
This means that there are no sealer maintenance issues, and also no color fading or marring due to excessive use of sealants. Instead the stone ages gracefully with time and provides a warmth and elegance that cannot be matched by any other product.
What are some of the other advantages of using natural thin stone veneer?
Aside from saving time and money and being a more environmentally sound product, natural thin stone veneer also has the advantage of being perfectly suited to particular situations where you do not have suitable footings for full depth stone or there are other weight bearing issues, or where there are limitations on the space.
How does natural thin stone veneer age over time?
The stone ages wonderfully, and does not fade in color as manufactured stone products tend to do. Also, if the stone is nicked or chipped, the consistent color throughout the stone means the stone will maintain its fine look.
Why is natural thin stone veneer a green product?
All of our natural stone veneer products are quarried form local quarries that reclaim a natural product and extend the life of these quarries through the creation of a thinner product that saves resources as well as shipping costs.
Natural thin stone veneer is an American product that creates local jobs and takes great care to enjoy the best of nature while changing it the least. Natural thin stone veneer is an authentic natural product that does not contain synthetic chemicals and substances as are found in manufactured stone products.
