Natural Stone Vs. Manufactured Stone Siding
Natural Stone Siding: Is made from real stone that is sourced from a quarry. Large pieces of various types of stones are then sliced into a thin profile. This profile is turned into a “veneer” that is applied as a stone facade on homes. This means the siding made of natural stones will have imperfections, various textures, and variations in tones Many homeowners like this type of “random” organic look that comes with natural or “real” stone siding.
Manufactured Stone: This type of siding is man-made. It is carefully designed to look like natural stone. The pieces are laid out randomly but the pattern will repeat since the veneers are mass manufactured to be identical. It is made with a mix of concrete and other aggregate materials then pressed into a mold. From far away it is almost impossible to recognize a man-made stone veneer but up close the repeating pattern may be more noticeable. However, manufactured stone is still gorgeous and more cost-effective too!
