Advantages of RealStone Natural Stone Veneer

For both interior and exterior fireplaces and wall coverings, no other material offers the beauty, elegance, and durability of stone. While raw natural stone requires the skills of an experienced stone mason, RealStone Systems™ forges products from true natural stone that are easier to apply, require no shaping, and eliminate waste.

RealStone Systems, a partner of ProCoat Systems in Denver, offers an extensive choice of high quality natural stone  products to the construction and remodeling industries. These products come in a rich variety of colors, tones, and textures to match any style preference.

The RealStone Systems website also provides a unique Visualizer Tool to help remodelers and other clients “see” the aesthetic effect of a variety of combinations of wall claddings and styles.

How is RealStone Unique?

RealStone is a natural stone product sourced from stone quarries. The artisans at RealStone Systems source real quartz, marble, granite, sandstone, slate, travertine, and other natural stone materials to craft high-quality wall and flooring panels, tiles, and accessories. Shaping the natural stone materials into panels creates a material that is easier to apply and generates virtually no waste.

Compare applying individual RealStone natural stone veneer panels to the process of receiving a load of raw stone, shaping and sculpting each piece for application, and then hauling away the considerable waste.

Uses for Real Stone Veneers

In homes and businesses, whether for new construction or remodeling, natural stone veneer is playing an ever-growing role in creating a delightfully stunning décor. Used for  cladding an accent wall to add comfort to a family room, adding elegance and refinement to a dining room, or infusing spa-like gentility into a bathroom, natural stone veneers make for brilliant and affordable upgrades.

Cladding an old fireplace surround with new and beautiful Estate Stone or Ledgestone Natural Stone veneer will bring a cozy, yet sensational aura to a room.
