What is All Natural "Real" Stone Veneer?

All natural stone veneer is "Real" stone that has been split and sawn to be approximately 1 inch thick and is used as a wall covering for exterior and interior surfaces. Real Stone has been made by glacial and volcanic activity over millions years which means that the colors on the surface are present throughout the entire stone. This allows the mason to "shape" the stone during the installation process to create the perfect fit and style. Because the stone's color is contained throughout each piece, this stone will last for many lifetimes and will continue to increase it's natural beauty as a patina (a surface grown beautiful with age) develops from the sun, wind, rain, ice, heat and cold.
