Characteristics Of An Aesthetically Stone Veneer Used For Your Home

By William Murray


Let me describe what stone veneer is first. It is commonly used in house building and or for decorating it. Mostly in exterior but some for interior like chimney and tables. There are natural and manufactured stone siding, the latter is the Lightweight Stone Veneer.

Those stone decorated house looks pleasing for our eyes. At some point, we would want to add those aesthetic in our home. It all depends to our perspective and how much we would spend at those. Back then, if you are not rich as the emperor then installing these would be take long and expensive.

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.

Manufactured concrete veneer has its own advantages. It should be environmental friendly because it requires no quarrying in any fieldstone. It could fairly easy to use as the material is light and could be constructed easily in building. A good developed copy would fool a keen eye at first sight unless you touch it you would not notice the difference.

Also, the rock exterior is also used in chimney decoration. Typically used in vacation houses or in cabins in the woods. It offers additional comfort to our surroundings, especially on those cold days where just want to sit down and read books.

The lightweight rock veneer has also the options for more color variations, from the common one to a specific color that will go with your home paint. There many interior designs with these too even if you are in the city you could achieve a cabin style structure. If you are obsesses with these you could just granite veneer all parts of your home, the exterior and the interior, it will be like the old times, old times.

An interesting fact, this pleasing rock was first expanding in late nineteenth century. It was such a long time since this technique is first. It could be amazing to marvel at structures that are built with it. The examples of this are the Segovia aqueduct in Spain, and some buildings in Roman Empire.

Overall, if you are new to this style of housing then there is no need to be afraid. Just do all the necessary steps with the right professional for it. Though it could be chipped away someday, there still a long way to go, give it ten to fifteen years. There should be nothing wrong to build your home the way you want because you will be living there for eternity and knowing the one part of building is just an added knowledge to your mind.
