One of the biggest benefits of manufactured stone veneer is its design versatility. With a seemingly endless array of profiles and colors, plus a lighter weight for fewer limitations for installation versus natural stone, there’s a look to meet the needs of any design aesthetic—and beyond. And that means plenty of opportunities to be creative with unique manufactured stone applications.
Here are just a few examples of the more unique and beautiful ways designers have used manufactured stone veneer, inside and outside, for residential and commercial projects.
