Why Choose Stone Veneer?
Stone veneer is virtually maintenance free. Like natural stone, a homeowner would merely need to wash the surface occasionally to remove dust or dirt.
The advantage of cultured stone is the cost! At one-third to half the cost once installed, stone veneer can help you meet your budget, while not sacrificing the custom details our stone masons will add to your project.

Exterior Stone Veneer Withstands Extreme Weather
Exterior stone veneer stands up to the Alberta climate. Stone veneers are slow to absorb heat and require less insulation than other building systems. That means it can withstand the cold Calgary winters as well as the hot sun in the summer. In the spring, stone veneer can hold its own in hail storms that often hit the prairies at that time of year. Exterior stone veneer is rated as one of the highest-grade building materials for durability, especially in extreme weather fluctuations. No wonder stone veneer is a popular choice for exterior home design in Calgary!
