Using Natural Stone Veneer in Commercial Spaces

Why Sawn Thin Natural Stone Veneer is Ideal for High Traffic Commercial Spaces

It’s no secret that commercial spaces take a beating. Everyday use includes deliveries knocking into walls and not-so-gentle guests. The operators of the space don’t have the resources to constantly repair damage. This is why durable sawn thin stone, or natural stone veneer, is an excellent choice for commercial properties.

Unlike manufactured stone, Natural Facing’s real stone veneer doesn’t chip, fade, or deteriorate with time. When properly installed, it maintains its beauty for decades, providing a timeless aesthetic without the need for ongoing upkeep—saving both time and money. Its natural weather resistance makes it an excellent choice for indoor and outdoor applications in high-traffic commercial spaces.
