Natural Stone Veneer Blog

The great writer Edna Ferber was once quoted as saying:

"We no longer build fireplaces for physical warmth, we build them for the warmth of the soul; we build them to dream by, to hope by, to home by".

We love seeing some of the stone fireplace designs created and executed by our customers and we hope a few of these help inspire you for your next fireplace design.

There was little doubt that when this home was completed it would grab the attention of everyone in the architecture and design world. Sweenor Builders, a Rhode Island based design+build firm, recently completed this project in Narragansett, RI, and it's been turning heads ever since.

It started with an Instagram post but we were fortunate enough to receive before and after pictures of this brick fireplace getting a stone veneer makeover. Our CT Blend Ledgestone was selected to help brighten up the room in what some call a "rustic-modern" design.

It was an exciting time for us when the team at Del Vino Vineyard (Northport, NY) selected their stone and placed the order with one of our Authorized Dealers on Long Island. As the vineyard nears its grand opening we were excited to see pictures of the completed exterior.

Natural stone veneer is used for many exterior applications. It's common for siding, chimneys, fireplaces, walls, fire pits, and several other applications. Our natural stone steps and flagging continue to increase in popularity but this Long Island patio took our thinstone veneer and used it in a simple and unique way: risers.
