Explore Different Types of Stone Veneer

Stone veneers are thin layers of natural or manufactured stone that are used to cover surfaces such as walls, fireplaces, and facades. They look like solid stone walls but are lighter and more cost-effective, making them an easier choice for most homes.

Thin Stone Veneer

Thin-cut stone veneer is manufactured by slicing or sawing natural stone into thin sections. It retains the authentic look of natural stone but is much lighter and easier to install than traditional stone.

Stacked Stone Veneer

Stacked stone veneer features stones that are stacked tightly together, creating a dry-stacked appearance. This style is often used for creating modern or traditional designs with a clean, organized look.

Cultured Stone Veneer

Cultured stone veneer, also known as manufactured stone veneer, is made from a mixture of portland cement, aggregates, and iron oxide pigments, molded to resemble natural stone. It offers a wide range of styles and colors while being more affordable than natural stone siding.

Split Face Stone Veneer

Split face stone veneer is characterized by its rough, uneven texture created by splitting or cleaving natural stone. It creates a rugged and rustic look, making it popular for adding a touch of nature to both interior and exterior spaces.

Common Applications for Stone Veneers

Stone Center's natural stone veneers offer versatility and elegance for a wide range of applications. Our clients use our stone veneers in the following ways:

Fireplaces

Transform ordinary fireplaces into extraordinary centerpieces using stone veneer. This application works well for both indoor and outdoor fireplaces.

Outdoor Living Spaces

Enhance patios, outdoor kitchens, and garden walls with stone veneer. This application creates a cohesive look between indoor and outdoor spaces.

What People Are Saying About Stone Center

Richard Hirata

We were looking for large stones for landscaping around our new patio. Chris Gose took us straight to where they were located, explained the different types of stone and gave us his professional opinion. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Drew, who helped load the rocks in our car, was a nice guy and a big help. I highly recommend Stone Center.
