Delgado Stone's digital catalog offers a closer look at each collection and available patterns.

The Delgado Stone Catalog features photos of completed projects, and close-up swatches to illustrate the color and texture variations of the five different pattern options. The catalog also showcases three collections of natural stone rounds, as well as other natural stone products including steps, landscape material, and flagstone. The digital catalog is a great tool for narrowing down color and pattern preferences for the different veneer options. From there, we strongly recommend seeing the chosen collection in person before making a final decision!

The Product Spec Guide details the specifications for the five natural stone veneer patterns (+ rounds), along with thinstone veneer corners. In this guide, you will also find detailed advice for planning and ordering, based on each pattern's unique characteristics. This guide is also an introduction to the differences between thinstone and full bed veneer including how each pattern will look on a pallet in both variations. Once you know which natural stone collection(s) you're interested in, this guide offers everything you need to select the best pattern for your project and coordinate the design elements.
