What Is Natural Stone Veneer?

One of the most common questions we receive from potential customers is "what is natural stone veneer"? This question is so common, we decided to make it the topic of our first blog post... which you are now reading. Natural stone is exactly what you think it might be, stone that comes directly from the Earth. In our case, the natural stone usually arrives to us from a regional quarry where we  then break it down and create various veneer patterns which are used for interior and exterior projects.

Quality Custom Stones

We are extremely careful to source the products we create from quarries in New England and New York that are highly regarded for their quality and consistency. It's from these stones we can create our unique product lines (over 20 different products) in 6 different unique patterns. Each product and pattern has a different look, allowing customers to create something that is unique to them. Whether it's the exterior of a house (below), a walkway, or a chimney, natural stones are perfect for almost any project.

Why Choose Natural Stone?

Natural stone is beautiful, durable, and environmentally friendly. The quality of the stone allows for masons to be creative and ensure the work that has been done will last for many years to come. In fact, one of the main reasons people choose to work with natural stone is because it will last a long time and requires very little maintenance compared to manufactured alternatives..

When deciding if you're going to work with natural stone, do your homework. All stones are not created equal and while they may look the same to the untrained eye, we recommend talking with your local dealer or mason to determine what is best for your project. Everyone wants to find the best price but sometimes it's worth spending a little bit more to make sure you get the quality and look you are going for.
