Natural Stone Thin Veneer (NTV) offers the same timeless good looks as full bed stone but with less weight and mass, making it ideal for projects where these factors are a concern. For exterior applications, for example, NTV is perfect when ledge depth or structural limits are important. Indoors, it adds sophistication and warmth while preserving valuable floor space. Both full bed stone and NTV bring unique benefits, offering the ultimate fusion of style and functionality to elevate any space.

Stone Composition—Definitions

limestone

Limestone is a sedimentary rock primarily composed of calcium carbonate (CaCO3), usually in the form of calcite, with minor amounts of aragonite. It may also include dolomite, a type of magnesium carbonate. The texture of limestone is often granular, with small fossil fragments embedded within the rock. These fossils provide insights into Earth's geological history. In landscaping and construction, limestone is valued for its versatility as landscape stone, dimensional stone, and natural stone cladding. Its durability and aesthetic appeal make it ideal for outdoor features, retaining walls, and as a beautiful cladding material for buildings and monuments.

sandstone

Sandstone is a type of sedimentary rock composed of sand-sized particles, typically ranging from 0.06 to 2 mm (0.0025 to 0.08 inches) in diameter. It is a versatile material often used in construction and landscaping due to its durability, workability, and natural aesthetic. The spaces between the grains are typically filled with a cementing material, such as silica or calcium carbonate, making it ideal for use as building stone. Sandstone's natural textures and colors, from warm reds to earthy browns and grays, make it popular for facades, paving, retaining walls, and decorative features in outdoor spaces. Its strength and resistance to weathering ensure its suitability for long-lasting landscaping applications.
