Stone and Cultured Stone Siding
Several varieties of rock are used in stone sidings including granite, limestone, and slate. Perhaps the most expensive of all sidings, stone ranks number one in durability (think historic landmarks & monuments). Excellent weather resistance, insulation and beauty make stone siding highly desirable. But, cost wards off many an interested buyer. More economical alternatives exist which can avert the high price and offer similar benefits.
Alternates to stone siding include pre-cast stone veneers, cultured stone facing, or simulated stacked stone, rock, and brick products. These fabricated stone siding materials are lightweight (1/4 the weight of full thickness stone) and can be secured to most exterior surface walls. They are durable, easy to install, cost-effective and don't require painting, staining or waterproofing.
If the stone architecture flaunted by kings, queens, popes and pharos in their castles, cathedrals and temples suits your desires, then stone siding may be for you. If however, you don't have a chest of gold to spend; modern technology offers competitive rivals to stone with cultured or simulated stone siding.
