IT LOOKS AND FEELS LIKE NATURAL STONE
Stone has always provided the timeless beauty, character, and warmth throughout the centuries of human history.
Now more than ever, with the advancement of technology, people can take advantage of new architectural stone veneers and products to enhance their residences, their businesses and even their landscaping. Architectural stone, also known as manufactured stone, has rapidly become a very popular alternative to natural stone. There are many reasons for the growing popularity of manufactured stone; one of the reasons is the difference of the installed cost between architectural stone and natural stone with the same authentic appeal. Architectural stone can be produced in such a way to allow for the duplication of the stone, in a diversity of colors and styles that cannot easily be accomplished with hand cut natural stone. Architectural stone can meet the ever expanding market needs without the depletion of Mother Nature’s supply. Along with the depletion of nature stone, is the inherent waste in bringing it to market, as well as the possibility of long term damage to the environment. Natural stone cannot be mass produced, each natural stone has to be excavated, picked, and hand cut individually. As beautiful as natural stone is, architectural stone now rivals it in its authentic appeal.
Grizzly Ridge Architectural Stone veneer has the authentic appeal of actual stone without the weight of natural stone. It does not need extra footings to support the weight or need any heavy equipment for installation. Architectural stone, even though it is much lighter, still has the strength and durability which will allow it to last for years while maintaining color consistency. It is not only designed to be light yet strong, but much easier to cut and arrange as you install and will stick in place permanently once properly installed. Our stone may be used on an exterior wall, an interior feature wall or a fireplace. Some of the stone veneer may be used as patios stones, walk ways, or around pools and ponds.
IT LOOKS LIKE NATURAL STONE, but it is much lighter, making it so much easier to install and can be done by a handy home owner... male or female!
Please note: It is important to recognize the fact that Grizzly Ridge Stone and Brick is a veneer! It is a facing which is attached to a wall for the purposes of providing an enhancement to the design of your project. It is NOT intended to be a structural product or a waterproofing element.
