About Natural Thin Stone Veneer

Natural Thin Stone Veneer causes your home or business to project the look of strength, style, and timeless beauty.

For contemporary homes and businesses, natural stone is the popular choice to convey the image of success, dependability, and prosperity for almost any building project.

At Southwest Stone Supply we value the lasting appeal and rich textures of stone in our natural landscapes. And working with quarries around the country we capture and cultivate that rugged beauty, and bring it to you in the form of veneer.

Our stone products are cut and shaped from real rock sourced and harvested from all over our nation in fields, riverbeds, mountains, and streams. Southwest Stone Supply’s thin stone veneer retains the handsome grandeur of the natural rock from which it is obtained.

What is Thin Stone Veneer?

Natural thin stone veneer–sometimes called Architectural Stone Veneer– provides a lightweight alternative to full-sized rock and stone. Mined from quarries around the United States, our veneers display a nice range of attractive color, shape, and texture characteristics.

Stone veneers are generally chosen as the decorative (and protective) overlay for both exterior and interior walls. As with any veneer, it is cut decidedly thinner than its natural depth. The stone is normally trimmed to be just one inch thick. So it offers excellent use for siding, fireplaces, and for beautifying the outside of chimneys. This makes Thin Veneer somewhat more versatile than Full Bed Veneer, which can be three to five inches thick.

At Southwest Stone Supply, our thin stone veneer is created by sawing and shaping all-natural rock from stone quarries. So it is quite different from manufactured veneer products which are sometimes called by other names like faux stone, artificial stone, or flexible stone. One must be careful not to be misled because these manufactured products are also sometimes simply referred to by names such as “stone veneer” or “accent stone veneer”. And though they may look comparable at first, the reality is that the quality of true natural thin stone veneer simply cannot be replicated by machines.

Natural Stone Veneer Pricing

It’s interesting how so many people who become our customers began with the idea that real stone veneers would be cost-prohibitive. In fact, when a fair comparison is made, our product prices are usually surprisingly comparable, and often better than our competitors’.

Thin Stone Veneer Offers Advantages

Natural thin stone veneer has advantages, too. It is probably the most durable and long lasting of all home or commercial siding products. So it will last longer. And its installation actually produces less waste than faux stone. And most importantly, the opportunity to use real stone that was created in nature for your home or office is something that is incomparable.
