Characteristics Of An Aesthetically Stone Veneer Used For Your Home

By William Murray


We want quality materials for our house. We bought what is suggested by the constructer or we would look for an alternate for the materials. For example, for decoration, there are the natural veneer and there manufacturing stone veneer which is Lightweight Stone Veneer.

There are house you see in movies that is made of stone, let it be in old time set up or modern one. It typically applied to cabins in the wood, vacation house and rarely beach house. You can apply it to any type of house you want depending on the design.

Let us know those two types and a combination of two. The first one is the natural rock veneer is as name suggested is made from nature. It was typically quarried in mines or in fieldstone. The most expensive kind between the two is the natural ones.

There should be other ways to get that stony vibes if one cannot afford the organic one. There is manufactured granite side decoration is made from concrete and iron oxide for coloration. It cost less than the natural one and is weight lighter, it faux decoration siding but it can fool people in first glance.

There is also a combination of those two types for more authentic look. Mix of those manufactured and natural could also back up the durability of the product. It should also be for reusing the chipped naturals, replaced the broken parts with concrete and shade the color with the original.

The concrete is poured into template molds that could convince your neighbor that is a natural one. The lightweight siding is easy to manipulate, because it could man made one could just made plenty in one template. If the client wants they could have uniform manufactured sliding.

Sad to say but this replica has disadvantages too. As mention, the replica is made of concrete and therefore it was just a mock up version of the original. As a result, it prone to tear and wear, and chipping away. If the molded concrete is not made properly there is a possibility that you will need to renovate your house often because of the product,

Not all things are perfect therefore there are disadvantages to these materials. One of the disadvantages is that lightweight rock exterior might be damaged earlier than the organic one as it is manmade and will depend on the cement used. The raw granite covering could not be reused if it has been wear too much. Also there is a possibility that you will have to replace every rock used because it starting to chipped away, the worst case scenario is if it was not built properly then it could collapse.

There is also a combination of manufactured and natural now. Maybe it was for fixing the chipped area of the natural siding. There already a mold for these if you want to do a do it yourself building experiment. As for today, a lot of ways is discovered to be efficient with the materials they have in hand to create the look they want.
