What is Manufactured Stone?
Manufactured stone is used in building commercial and residential homes and looks like a real rock surface but each stone is only between 2-3 inches thick. Manufactured stone consists of Portland cement, lightweight aggregate and iron oxide coloring pigments.

Where is manufactured stone used?
Fireplaces, foundations, signs, landscaping, exterior accents on commercial and residential buildings to name a few places. It can also be used to help give a more modern look when remodeling older buildings.

What type of surface can manufactured stone be applied over?
Almost any structurally sound surface such as: wood frame buildings, brick, concrete block, stucco and others.

What are some advantages of Manufactured Stone?
Manufactured Stone weighs less than natural stone (only weighs 8-9 lbs/sq.ft.) making it easier to install and handle. Appalachian Manufactured Stone does not require a footing which provides additional savings to the homeowner or contractor. The consistency of the manufacturing process often makes the manufactured stone wall look more uniform than a traditional natural stone wall.  

Do we install?
No. You will need to arrange a contractor and we can recommend some.
