What is Natural Stone Veneer?
Natural stone veneer or real sawn thin stone is created from real, quarried stone that is sliced into thin pieces or otherwise cut to fit the needs of your design. Since it’s 100% real stone, it is naturally weather proof. It doesn’t chip or wear like manufactured stone veneer.
Secure your investment with the unending quality of nature’s most durable building material.
What is Manufactured Stone Veneer?
Also called engineered stone or faux stone, manufactured stone veneer is molded concrete that is artificially colored on the surface to look like popular natural stone. It was originally developed as a light weight alternative to heavy building stone. At the time, the technology did not exist to create sawn thin stone veneer.
How can you spot manufactured stone?
Once you know what to look for, you’ll start spotting the telltale signs of manufactured stone. Here are some we see on a regular basis.
Chips & Shaping Exposes Concrete Interior
