‘Rock And Roll’ Your Next Home Improvement Project With StoneCraft Industries™ manufactured stone veneer

(HIT) - Whether in the kitchen, bath or an outdoor space, the look and feel of stone can elevate your home to rockstar status. Stone veneer adds grace, beauty and warmth to any home making fireplaces cozier, kitchens more distinct and outdoor spaces extraordinary. It comes in a variety of colors and profiles, and the unique texture perfectly mimics genuine stone. Not only does it deliver in the looks department, but it is simple to install, making it the perfect weekend project.

In the kitchen and bath, stone veneer fosters outstanding designs with a variety of applications: backsplashes, islands, tub surrounds, brick oven facades and wine storage. With an expanded range of ten stone profiles and a wide spectrum of colors, StoneCraft Industries™ manufactured stone veneer features dynamic selections to personalize any desired look, whether modern, Old World or mountain rustic.

StoneCraft manufactured stone veneer adds value to homes by bringing vibrant texture to any space, including popular outdoor living, fireplace and kitchen & bath applications.
In concert with glass, metal and ceramic, the charm of stone breathes extraordinary life into discerning kitchens and baths. Add engaging dimension with StoneCraft profiles such as Ledgestone in the popular Chardonnay color or classic Heritage in the new soothing Hill Country color. Profiles like traditional ashlar-shaped Cobble and softly smooth River Rock present timeless appeal.

Grouting techniques allow for even richer character. Dry-stacked applications create rhythmic harmony. Standard grout applications offer a clean, warm look, while overgrout applications paint a picture of enduring strength and stability.

Outdoors, stone veneer adds to the home’s canvas just as beautifully, even in smaller applications. An American Institute of Architects survey found a more than 16-percent increase from 2005 to 2008 in the number of architects describing outdoor living as a growth area. Moreover, outdoor rooms were the second most popular remodeling project after kitchens according to the Propane Education and Research Council.

From water features, entertainment centers and outdoor fireplaces to pergolas and fire pits, StoneCraft is a natural fit for outdoor spaces. According to the NAR survey, 35 percent of home buyers added landscape features and 12 percent added fencing. A fence crafted with stone veneer provides privacy, security and an esteemed look, while rugged retaining walls enhance a yardscape with solid charm.

To complement its range of flat and corner offerings, StoneCraft also provides a wide range of accessories to complete a finished look: wainscot sills, hearthstones, trim stones, keystones, rock face sills, 135-degree corners, and light and receptacle boxes.

A space featuring the handsome detail of stone is where rough meets refined. From the hearth and chimney to full interior walls and the façade, StoneCraft adds enjoyment and value with remarkable texture and sophistication.
