Select Your Building Stone

Our stone samples in our showroom represent the general characteristics of natural building stone. Natural variations in color, size, and texture will occur because these products come from the earth.

As stone ages, it can change colors on the outer surface. Newly quarried stone can oxidize, darken, or lighten over time. The exchange for this natural stone veneer over man-made stone products is that it continues to look beautiful as it ages, rather than worn or faded.
