Cultural Stone Shows Homes Massive Potential.
Cultural stone, also called artificial culture stone, cultured stone, faux stone, stone veneer, is suitable for any style and any location, stone provides a sense of solidity, permanence and strength. Whether used in blocks or as a veneer, stone can yield a full spectrum of results. Options for which stone you use and how you use it are limitless.
Cultural stone can make a great base. Because of stone’s sense of permanence, a stone base can anchor and establish a structure firmly in place. Larger stones in an irregular pattern create a firm base that complements the lightness of the structure above.
Cultural stone can work for contemporary homes. Interlocking volumes clad in stone that provides texture can enliven a home’s composition. And the rough texture of stone can be a nice counterpoint to the adjoining wood and metal.
Cultural stone can be any color. From reds, blues and greens to oranges, yellows and more, stone can vary widely in color. Selecting a stone that has the hue you want, whether to blend in or stand out, has never been easier.
Cultural stone can be left raw. Stone in its undressed state is rock, and rocks can be piled on top of one another to establish a connection to the site. As it transforms into stone, it becomes less foundation and more wall.
Cultural stone can create emphasis. A change in material from stucco to stone and a change in color from light to dark can create a focal point at the entrance or some other architectural feature.
