Natural Stone Veneer: What Do I Need To Know?


Our new natural stone veneer line has been a great addition to our product offering. We have six new styles that are readily available with 85+ more natural stone products accessible from StoneRox. The six styles available have a great range of luxury, from modern elegance to rustic beauty, and can be used both as interior or exterior features on your home project. These products also come in full bed or thin veneer, so you're covered for any installation method. Take a look at our natural stone veneer line below.


Graphite Manor


This is a limestone product that is an ashlar pattern, meaning it's a more linear-running pattern made up of squares and rectangles. The sizing of the stone is:


Height: 4"-12" random (Full Bed & Thin Veneer)

Length: 8"-20" (Full Bed); 8"-24" (Thin Veneer);


It's also made up of all bedface material, which is the face of the stone used when quarried.

Bedface is the natural top or bottom of the layered stone so no chiseling or dressing of the stone has been utilized to alter the face look. The tones of this stone are grey, charcoal, tan, and buff. This type of natural stone veneer is a great option for both rustic and contemporary looks and adds a look of class to any project.


Fond Du Lac Country



This is a limestone product that is also an ashlar pattern but more of an irregular look. This has been our most popular style so far as it is extremely versatile and can be used in any project. It also looks extremely sharp with a white mortar joint. The sizing of the stone is:


Height: Varies from 2" - 9" (Full Bed & Thin Veneer)

Length: Random, 8"-36" (Full Bed); 8"-24" (Thin Veneer)


This natural stone veneer is made up of purely split face material, which means it has been broken or split to show a rougher texture; this shows a more profiled and chiseled look. This stone comes in cream, tan, and grey tones in the colour blend, and can be used to show off a modern, timeless feel.


Graphite Country


Our Graphite country gives a classic stone feel and is also a limestone product. It has elegance with its horizontal striping through the stone, which can't be duplicated. It is an ashlar pattern but also quite irregular. The sizing is:


Height: Varies from 2"-6" (Full Bed); 2"-6" (Thin Veneer)

Length: Random, 8"-36" (Full Bed); 8"-24" (Thin Veneer)


This is also a purely splitface stone which gives off that rough and more profiled and textured feel. It has a range of colours in gray, charcoal, and tan. This type of stone has been popular for ages, and we don’t see it going away anytime soon.


Nickel Ledgestone


What an elegant feel this stone provides. It is a quartzitic sandstone that provides a beautiful modern look. It has a slight shine to it, which can really give a feel of luxury to any project. This stone is only available in thin veneer, whereas all others are also available in full bed. This is also a stone that can only be dry laid which means there is no mortar joint used when installing. The sizing of the product is:


Height: 2-1/2", 5"

Length: 4" - 14"


It is a low-profile linear running stone that is silver with touches of varying grey tones. If you choose this for your next project, you will be astonished by the richness it provides.


Fond Du Lac Dimensional


With a breath of modernity and a touch of rustic, the Fond Du Lac Dimensional can really do it all. It is a coursed-out stone, meaning the stone has sawn heights that work together perfectly without any irregularity. The sizing of the stone is:


Height:2-1/4" (20%), 5" (40%), 7-3/4" (30%), 10-1/2" (10%)

Full Bed & Thin Veneer Length: Random, from 8"-48" (Full Bed), 8"-24" (Thin Veneer)


This is also a purely bedface stone like the Graphite Manor, which gives off that old-time feel, while the sawn heights give off the more linear, running contemporary vibe. The colour tones you will find are beige, buff, and grey. It is tough to say exact percentages, as Mother Nature creates her own look that can't be beaten.


Columbia


A more traditional-looking stone that is made up of limestone. It is similar to the Fond Du Lac Country, but it is tumbled, which means the stones look a little older and can create that vintage feel. It really resonates with projects going for that type of look. The sizing of this product is:


Height: Varies from 2" - 8" (Full Bed & Thin Veneer)

Length: 6" - 18"


The tonality of this stone is light grey, medium grey, and buff. Utilizing this stone on any project can give it that aged and old-world feel that has been so popular recently. This stone is always a good choice and will enrich any project.


Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns regarding our new natural stone veneer styles. This look can't be duplicated, as Mother Nature will always be the best artist.
