Veneer
Natural Stone
We use natural 'cut' stone; the real stuff. Veneer comes in two flavors, natural & manufactured. This is not artificial stone and you can both see and feel the difference.
Usage
The applications are very flexible. Stone veneer can take the place and appearance of any traditional stone structure. In addition, it can be used in places where traditional stone structures aren't possible or practical. For example, your foundation might not support the weight of a complete stone feature, yet veneer can provide features you desire while remaining within constraints of the building or foundation.
