Benefits
For millions of years, layer upon layer
of earth’s materials have formed various metamorphic rock layers we now
call slate, mica, and sandstone. We also know them as durable stones used
for floors and patios cut only with diamond saws then mortared into place
and usually grouted along the edges. Generally easy to work with, but
quite heavy and improbable in many applications, these solid stones have
been the only practical means of creating that real stone look. Until
now…
Veneer is a lightweight, flexible, colorful and unique stone veneer with
unlimited application possibilities. The introduction of this exciting new
material addresses a large need for a flexible, adaptable, durable and
weather resistant stone veneer.
