Natural Stone Siding: Types, Details, and Custom Work

Natural stone siding gives a building a character that no imitation material can match: from light Piedra Paloma to warm Vinalmont to striking Belgian blue stone. Each stone has its own nuances and texture, and no two pieces are alike. The siding is custom-cut in our own workshops.

Frequently Asked Questions About Siding

Which type of natural stone should you choose for exterior cladding?

The three types of stone are light-colored Piedra Paloma, warm-toned Vinalmont mesh limestone, and rich Belgian blue stone. Each gives the facade its own character; no two pieces of natural stone are alike.

What is the difference between this and crushed stone?

Rubble stone is roughly split stone that creates a rustic, robust look. Siding made of sawn natural stone has a cleaner, more polished appearance. Both are sourced from our own quarry.

Is a natural stone facade durable?

Yes. Natural stone has been used as a facade material for generations and combines an authentic look with a long service life.

Can siding be custom-made?

Yes. The panels and baseboards are cut to size in our own workshops, in accordance with the architect’s or contractor’s facade plan.

How do you maintain a natural stone facade?

Minimal: Brushing off the surface and removing green deposits in shaded areas is usually sufficient. Do not use harsh acids on limestone.
