Stone Wall Feature For Old Or New Homes

For those in mines subsidence areas where brick construction is not possible, stone veneer wall cladding can give your home that substantial appearance. Stone veneer can be also used as a feature and remember you can carry it through to the interior of the home.

Whether you want to increase the resale value of your home, or you just want it to look its best inside and out, nothing does both like the look of stone designs. Yet, natural stone can be prohibitively expensive.

Reconstituted stone veneer is the surprisingly affordable alternative to natural stone cladding that's capturing the attention of the architectural design and renovating world. Sometimes referred to as stone cladding or sandstone cladding it's an environment-friendly engineered product that offers you all the advantages of natural stone, designed stones with none of the drawbacks. Its lighter weight, elegant beauty and practical efficiency affords many exciting design options for both interior and exterior wall facings and treatments, creating a harmony between your outdoor and indoor living spaces.

Reconstitued stone offers excellent insulation with a rating of R2.7 compared to brick veneer at R1.2
