In today's busy, hectic world, your home is your castle - a place to forget the city's flashing lights and blaring horns. To truly escape, we often transform our homes with natural surroundings to create a peaceful, relaxing and soothing environment. But how do we do that?
Our parents' generation perfected their garden and shrubs. If they were wealthy, they even built lavish fountains.
Today, it's all about the natural stone look. Whether you want a stone fireplace surrounded by country ledgestone, marble counter tops for your new bar or to create added warmth and character with textured accent walls, dramatic stone effects provide a soothing environment that takes you away to a better place.
But there's a problem. Natural stone looks beautiful but it's extremely inconvenient and expensive. It's bulky, heavy, difficult to manipulate, and can wreak havoc on the foundation of your home. So how can you achieve the look of natural stone without gutting your house?
 
The natural stone veneer revolution
Man made stone veneers - also known as faux or manufactured stone - are created by blending Portland cement with elements of natural stone and expertly selected pigments. The result is a completely natural-looking stone at a fraction of real stone's weight and cost. Thanks to its light weight, it's much more manoeuvrable. You can put it anywhere in your house without disturbing foundation and footings and without requiring structural reinforcing.
Stone veneers give you all the benefit of the real thing - with none of the hassle.

Why Stone Veneer or Faux stone veneer is preferable?
Stone Veneer, as building material has captured the market due to cost factor and ease of installation. It can greatly alter the look of your house by lending a natural appearance in a stylish manner. Faux stone can be utilized in a number of ways depending upon the need.
