Building Stone & Natural Thin Veneer

Due to variations in natural stone actual colors may vary.

Our “Thin Veneer” is an ALL NATURAL alternative to natural and artificial stone. This product is REAL stone that has had the face of the stone sawn off to produce a much thinner and much lighter weight alternative to full bed stone. Thin Veneer ranges from 1” to 1.5” in thickness as opposed to full bed stone that averages around 6” to 7” in thickness. The durability of this product is much higher than artificial stone in that it retains the color much longer over time. Installation is easy for the Do-It-Yourself customer as well as for professional installers. (See installation manual)

Our Thin Veneer is available in flats (by square foot) and corners (by linear foot). The corner pieces provide the look of a full thickness stone by wrapping around the corners of the surface. Because of this, you can’t tell the difference in a full thickness and a Thin Veneer application.

Thin Veneer is commonly used for interior and exterior walls, fireplaces, chimneys, facing foundation walls, mailboxes, backsplashes, and covering most any surface you like with natural stone.

Building Stone (Thick Wall stone) ranges in thickness from 3” to 6” with a nominal face range of 6” to 18”. Average coverage is approximately 35 to 40 square feet per ton when laid flat (web wall style). Coverage is slightly less when laid on edge (dry stack). Expect a waste factor of 25% to 30% in dry stack applications due to shaping and trimming of the individual stones. Footings are required when Building Stone is applied as a facade. Recommended footing width is 10” for web wall, dry stack, and semi-stack applications (measuring from the face of the unfinished wall).

Available in most stone types including Fieldstone, Limestone, Sandstone, Ashlar, River Rock, etc. These patterns can be dry stacked (without mortar joint) or jointed (with mortar joint).
