Few
improvements create a warmer or more elegant atmosphere than a stone veneer covering for a fireplace or exterior wall. Boral® has been creating
high-quality, aesthetically pleasing and affordable cultured stone options for
over 50 years. Partnering with ProCoat of Denver, Boral offers a broad range of
attractive stone solutions for use in and around beautiful homes.
Besides
manufacturing a extensive selection of cultured stone, Boral is the sole
producer of ProCoat’s exclusive line of ProStone® products. These stone
materials are affordable, meet stringent Colorado building standards, and are
guaranteed for up to 50 years. With the look and texture of real stone,
ProStone’s natural beauty and variety can dress up any environment without costing
a fortune.
ProStone
products from ProCoat and Boral are perfect for virtually any interior or exterior application. The products may be used as an
exterior cladding to upgrade a business or residence, while also offering a
dramatic option for a fireplace surround, interior wall, or any outdoor living
area.
The
high-performing materials are durable, low-maintenance, sustainable, and
affordable.
Durability
While
offered with a 50-year guarantee, all of the beautiful ProStone veneers are
subject to Boral’s 63-point inspection process before leaving the production
facility. The testing protocols are conducted to ensure durability, quality,
and consistency. As an endorsement for Boral’s stringent quality assurance
processes, the ICC (International Code Council) Evaluation Service’s Report for
strict quality enforcement and code compliance.
Maintenance
ProStone
materials require virtually no maintenance. As with any exterior material,
periodic light washing is suggested to remove accumulated dust and grime to
maintain the like-new appearance of the stone veneer. ProStone Cultured Stone
requires no sealing, coating, or painting.
Value
According to
the Boral website, an independent study concluded that the addition of a full cultured stone façade of a home or business
would increase the value of the
structure by 6%. As for buyer perception, the value increases by up to 10%. In
some cases, the addition of a classic stone façade may mean the difference
between selling the home quickly or waiting months or more to find a buyer,
usually at a significantly lower selling price.
Sustainability
Cultured
stone is far more sustainable that natural stone. The amount of fuel to extract
and transport the stone material is far more than in the production of ProStone
cultured stone. Also, 54% of the materials used to produce Boral Cultured Stone
is from pre-consumer waste. Boral Cultured Stone is the industry’s only
GREENGUARD-certified veneer product.
