There are buildings all over the world that use whole stone as the main structural component. These traditional structures are not only made to last but also have a natural beauty.
We are able to capture the aesthetic quality of this traditional look using cultured stone. Accents to your building’s interior or exterior can personalize any structure.
Today, stone veneer rather than whole stone is more common. This technique has not only increased the speed of application, but has also made it more affordable. Besides the eye-catching look, stone and brick also provide increased heat capacity for a building.
Cultured stone is made by pouring a concrete-based mix into natural stone moulds. The look of the mould combined with unique colouring achieves a true stone look and feel.
Manufactured stone veneer is lighter than natural stone, therefore ties and footings are not required. The light weight and shallow profile allow cultured stone to be used to cover an existing surface without affecting the building’s weight-bearing capacity.
