Thin veneer has been around since Ancient Rome, but its beauty means that it’s still popular today. A veneer is a series of stones that have all been cut into slices and attached to the outside of buildings or walls to create a decorative or protective covering. Typically, veneer is roughly an inch thick, lightweight, and durable enough to be used both indoors and out. SBI Materials offers many different types of stone that can be made into veneer.
Sandstone is a sedimentary rock that comes in many different styles and colors. Some of the most popular shades are white, yellow, orange, red, and even gray or black; it’s among the most colorful of all rocks. Sandstone is very durable and lends an outdoorsy, rustic feeling to any area.
One special type of sandstone is bluestone, which (as the name implies) has a bluish-gray tint. Bluestone may also come in pale green or even lavender, and is one of the strongest types of sandstone. Bluestone can be made into a thin veneer that makes a wall seem slick, modern, and sophisticated.
Limestone is one of the world’s most popular building materials. After purchasing from SBI Materials, it can be easily cut into thin slices, making it good for veneer, and it also comes in a wide variety of shades. It is commonly seen in shades of white, cream, or tan, which are the most popular, although it also might crop up in reds, yellows, or blacks.
One specialized type of limestone is travertine. While normal limestone often forms at the bottoms of oceans, travertine appears inside of hot springs. This makes each piece unique and often leads to interesting patterns appearing in the rock. Other forms of limestone might even have fossils inside.
Finally, slate is a dense and highly textured rock that comes in both dark varieties and multicolored patterns. Slate is durable and communicates elegance—but it’s not the only option. With all the other options available at SBI Materials, you should be able to find the perfect stone for your thin veneer.
