PQ THIN STONE VENEER

Our goal of manufacturing our own thin stone line is now a reality.  With the purchase of our Thin Stone machine we are creating the PQ Thin Stone line.  These stones are cut from our full bed options that are indiginous to our area.  They come in flats and corners. We are excited to bring you this new line of products from our back yard to your project.

 

Thin Veneer is a special cut of our traditional veneer specifically engineered for interior and exterior applications. On average is up to 5 times thinner than traditional veneer at ¾ - 1 ½ inches thick. Less weight results in lower shipping costs, easier installation and no footing requirements.

 

FOUR STONE CUTS / SHAPES

Four stone cuts explained

 

Thin Stone veneer is cut from full bed stone. It ranges in thickness from 1 to 1 1/2 inch thick and comes as a flat and a corner product. The majority of veneer stone is cut in four different cuts as described in this video.

 

THE FOUR STONE CUTS / SHAPES
Ashlar       Mosaic       Rectangular & Square      Ledge

Ashlar: Basically rectangular in shape and exhibiting the split face of the stone revealing striations that can be quite colorful.

Mosaic Pattern: Irregularly shaped quarry material exhibiting the seam face and/or the natural face of the stone.

Rectangular/Square: Produced on guillotines to approximate squares and rectangles and exhibiting the seam face and/or natural face.

Ledge Stone: Basically rectangular and exhibiting seam and split faces of the stone, ledge stone projects a more linear appearance.

WEYMOUTH GRANTE THIN STONE

Our Weymouth Granite is the backbone of our EXCLUSIVES products. It was always a full veneer stone but now we fabricate our thin veneer option.  The three cuts below are Ledge, Mosaic and Square & Rectangular.  This granite has a seam-face (smoother and deeper colors) and a split-face (rougher and muted colors) in it’s blend.  We can mix the blend of color, texture and shapes for any project.
