Manufactured Stone: Lightweight, Eco-Friendly Stone Cladding

Overview of Manufactured Stone

Artificial stone provides an authentic, long-lasting, lightweight cladding option that mimics the look of natural stone, including consistency in color and shape. Suitable for use both indoors and out, it will not crack or fade from exposure to changing temperatures and will withstand the rigours of nature and is very simple to install and maintain. Artificial stone provides a low-cost alternative to traditional stone with all the appeal of natural stone without harming the environment.

Advantages of Manufactured Stone

Authentic Stone Look

Utilizing advanced manufacturing techniques provides realistic stone looks having natural variation in color & texture similar to quarried lot stones, but with high resistance against cracking, fading, or deterioration due exposure to elements for an extensive amount of time (long life).

Lightweight and Easy Install

Using lightweight components makes it easy to handle and install materials, which reduces labor time and structural needs while still providing you with both strength and durability. The use of an interlocking system ensures secure connections, which ensures that everything will remain aligned and appear clean on both the interior and exterior.

Low Maintenance and Weather Resistant

Because manufactured stone was made to prevent water, staining from surfaces, and ultraviolet radiation, it is very low maintenance. Mild detergent will clean manufactured stone easily and will not fade in color, and will remain dimensionally stable through heat, cold, and heavy wind-driven rain.

Cost-Effective and Eco-Friendly

Has lower prices than natural stone, and it requires less time and waste to install. Manufactured with environmentally friendly materials using recycled content; it reduces the costs of long-term ownership and has an environmental impact less than or equal to the aesthetic value.

Manufactured Stone

Manufactured stone panels offer both the aesthetics of natural stone, and manufacturing advantages. The panels have solid dimensionally stable Backing, Protective Coating and provide a realistic texture that will not fade or be affected by moisture. These panels utilize lightweight interlocking Profiles, which allow for fast installation and little waste, while providing constant precision with installed location accuracy. The resulting product is ideal for use on exterior facades, fireplace surrounds, accent walls and pool areas, allowing for flexibility in design, predictable functionality/ease of install, and durability with very little maintenance required over time.

F&Q About Manufactured Stone

Is manufactured stone weather resistant?

As manufactured stone can endure exposure to UV radiation (sunlight), water (rain) and large temperature changes (temperature fluctuation), it will retain its color and not become cracked; therefore it should work effectively in a number of climates. However, if the manufactured stone is properly sealed and maintained, it can last longer in extreme weather.
Because lightweight panels have fewer anchors and require less trimming, installations usually take less time to complete compared to natural stone installations (both in terms of time and effort by contractors). As a result, there are shorter project duration, lower labor costs and less waste while creating a durable, realistic looking natural stone finish.
With precise planning, a vast quantity of profiles will fit onto curved surfaces. Contractors will trim and bend profile sections for a secure seam-to-seam and textured finish. When completed, the true appearance of the stone will remain intact and last long.
Minimal maintenance is required for panels (rinse them, clean off dirt, and do not use abrasive chemicals). For a panel that has developed some discoloration or dirt build-up, you can use a mild detergent or stone cleaner to restore its brightness. Sealants are rarely needed but periodic inspections will help keep them looking good and maintain their structural integrity.
