What is the difference between manufactured stone veneer and natural stone?
Manufactured stone veneer is cast from molds of real stone which makes it lighter than natural stone. Natural stone can require wall ties and footings, which, in turn, can increase installation cost and difficulty. Eldorado’s architectural stone veneer is lighter weight, designed to adhere easily to a variety of structurally sound surfaces, and is capable of installations that would normally be very difficult and costly to achieve with natural stone.

What are the benefits of using a manufactured stone?
Manufactured stone is approximately 1/3 to 1/2 the cost of natural stone installed. Its light weight properties eliminate the need for wall ties or footings. Manufactured stone has a 2% (approximately) waste factor versus 10% or more for natural stone.
