When it comes to home improvement, few materials have the timeless elegance and appeal quite like stone. Whether admiring it in your home's interior or exterior, incorporating stone
elements can significantly elevate its aesthetic and increase its market value.
From rustic charm to modern sophistication, the versatility of stone lends itself to various design styles, making it a valuable investment for homeowners looking to enhance their property - and StoneRox is here to help!
Interior Elegance
Aesthetic Appeal: The incorporation of stone accents within your home's interior instantly adds a touch of luxury and sophistication. Any StoneRox product, from our natural stone, manufactured stone veneer, screw-on stone, or thin clay brick can be installed as interior features. Feature walls, backsplashes, fireplaces or even dressing up that kitchen island, there are so many ways to get creative with these materials. According to a study by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), homes with stone features typically sell for 4% more than similar homes without them.
Durability and Longevity: Beyond its visual beauty, stone is known for its durability and longevity. A report by Remodeling Magazine found that stone veneer projects have a resale value of over 92%, making them one of the highest-returning investments in home improvement.
Versatility in Design: StoneRox products come in a variety of colours, textures, and finishes, allowing for endless design possibilities so don’t be scared to get creative. Whether you prefer the rugged charm of a stacked stone or brick or the sleek elegance of natural stone, there is an option to suit every aesthetic.
Increased Property Value: The addition of stone features within your home's interior enhances its aesthetic appeal. In a survey conducted by Zillow, homes with natural stone featured in their kitchens or bathrooms can potentially sell for up to 10% more than comparable homes without them.
Exterior Charm
Curb Appeal: The exterior of your home is the first impression it makes on visitors and potential buyers. Incorporating stone elements such as stone veneer or thin clay brick can dramatically enhance your home's curb appeal, creating a lasting impression that sets it apart from neighboring properties.
Weather Resistance: Stone is renowned for its ability to withstand the elements, making it an ideal choice for exterior applications, especially in Canada. A study by the Stone Federation Great Britain found that stone buildings have an average lifespan of over 100 years, far surpassing other building materials. That being said, our screw-on stone and manufactured stone veneer offer a 50-year warranty!
Low Maintenance: Unlike other exterior materials that require frequent upkeep, stone is relatively low maintenance. With minimal cleaning and occasional sealing, stone features can retain their beauty and integrity for years to come, saving homeowners time and money on maintenance costs. The same can be said for our thin clay brick!
Enhanced Property Value: Just as stone accents elevate the interior of your home, they can also significantly increase its value when incorporated into the exterior design. According to a report by Realtor.com, homes with stone exteriors typically sell for 3-5% more than comparable homes without them.
It's evident that the addition of stone elements both inside and outside your home offers numerous benefits, including enhanced aesthetic appeal, durability, and increased property value. By investing in the elegance and durability of stone, homeowners can enjoy a beautiful and valuable property for years to come, while also reaping the financial rewards when it comes time to sell.
