An easier, more affordable way to capture the raw beauty of stone? Manufactured stone veneer. This versatile building material from Westlake Royal Building Products replicates the organic look of the natural material, offering homeowners in the West a myriad of options to anchor an indoor or outdoor space with a timeless, organic aesthetic.

Natural Design Appeal, Greater Flexibility

Full-bed stone is a grounding and calming design element with its rugged lines and color variants, but its weight and price can be prohibitive. Westlake Royal Building Products recreates the raw, tactile appeal from scratch.

Craftspeople build molds from genuine stones handpicked from the earth, capturing all the lines and nuances. They pour concrete into the molds to create manufactured stone veneer, finishing each piece with hand-painted details, making each one unique. The product is lightweight while giving the appearance of full-bed stone, plus it’s more cost-effective.

Laying the Brick

Stone isn’t the only organic material to consider. Westlake Royal Building Products also offers a variety of manufactured brick veneer profiles that mimic the grounding look of brick, one of the oldest and most storied building elements.

All in the Organic Detail

Stone and brick make a statement. Think of an English cottage with stone exteriors, a grand living room with a brick accent wall, or an Italian seaside home with organic finishes. Each boasts variants in color, detail, and appeal. Westlake Royal Building Products and its companies, including Eldorado Stone and Cultured Stone, offer options for homeowners in the West to recreate any aesthetic, from contemporary to classic, and traditional to modern mountain homes.

Colors range from earthen browns, rich grays, and blacks to creams, golds, burgundies, and beyond. The shapes vary, with options ranging from rectangular and lateral lines to round and irregular curves. Take Eldorado’s Country Rubble, a rough-faced stone veneer product that echoes the rustic beauty of the European countryside. The detailing makes it an ideal choice for the facade of a lakeside house tucked in the mountains.

A Stunning and Smart Investment

Manufactured stone and brick veneer add beauty and curb appeal, making for a smart home investment. These elements uplevel interior and exterior spaces while withstanding the tests of time and weather. 

To honor its quality and durability, proper installation is critical. While the product is lightweight and easy to implement, an appeal to DIY-inclined homeowners, Westlake Royal Building Products encourages homeowners to seek a professional service to ensure its lasting quality and honor its handmade finishing and details.

The Stone Tells a Story

For over 60 years, Eldorado Stone and Culture Stone have elevated homes by offering the highest quality, most believable architectural stone veneer available. No matter a homeowner’s vision, whether it’s to create a stately brick-lined fireplace in the desert or clad a beachside exterior with organic stones, there are endless options. The stone tells a story, making it a design decision with staying power and a lasting impact.
