What is masonry?
Masonry is the building of structures from individual units laid in and bound together by mortar The common materials of masonry construction are brick, stone such as marble, granite, travertine, limestone; concrete block, glass block, and tile. Masonry is generally a highly durable form of construction. However, the materials used, the quality of the mortar and workmanship, and the pattern the units are put in can strongly affect the durability of the overall masonry construction.
What is stone veneer?
Stone veneers are a man made product consisting mainly of portland cement and pigments. Stone veneers are commonly called "Cultured Stone", this is a brand name similar to tissue vs. "Klenex".
What is the advantage of using stone veneer vs. real stone?
Veneers are lighter weight than real stone meaning no footing (for support) is required. This helps offset the cost of your foundation when building a new home. It's also a great advantage in remodeling or interior use. Stone veneers are typically 50% to 75% less than real stone. The choices in style and color you have in stone veneer are quite vast in comparison to real stone. Unless you pay big buck to have real stone shipped from a different region of the country or the world for that matter, you will be limited to quarrys within your geographical region. This is not the case with stone veneer. Take Eldorado Stone for example, many of their stones are molded from quarrys in Italy!
