Adding Decoration and Longevity.

Masonry products in brickwork and stonework make beautiful and long-lasting veneers for all types of landscaping and outdoor living projects.

Today, stone remains the first choice of architects and designers. Natural stone has high strength, low absorption and excellent resistance to weathering, all proven by long-lasting performance. And stone is beautiful, embodying the richness, colors and textures that only nature can produce.

Adhered natural thin stone veneer is a beautiful, versatile wall covering. And it is just that — stone supported by the wall it faces. The structural backup behind the stone veneer does all the work in resisting loads. The wall image to your right may be wood framing, metal framing, concrete block or poured-in-place concrete.

Installation of adhered natural thin stone veneer is relatively straightforward. It may be applied directly over any masonry surface such as concrete block, brick or cement. One restriction is that the underlying masonry surface must be clean, and painted masonry surfaces must be stripped of paint. But this isn't a problem.

Thin stone veneer is available in a wide variety of stone of different densities, colors, textures and shapes with the most popular shapes corresponding to the shapes of full depth veneer:

• Roughly square/roughly rectangular will be composed of large blocks of stone with 90-degree corners
  
  
• Mosaic, often described as a broken ice pattern, is composed of large irregular pieces of stone
  
  
• Ashlar split face stone is cut into long, narrow pieces and assembled like stacked brick
  
  
• Stacked ledge stone has the look of rustic stacked stone
  
  
• Fieldstone veneer can be natural thin or round fieldstone, and has either a flat or rounded surface.
