Natural Thin Veneer (NTV) Stone is one of the top stone choices in the masonry and building industry. Thin Veneer Stone's lightweight, natural, economical, and environmentally-friendly features are what make it a reliable and eye-pleasing aspect to so many homes and structures  across the country.

What is Natural Thin Veneer?

Natural Thin Veneer is a lightweight alternative to Full Veneer stone. Featuring a typical cut ranging from 3/4 inch to 1 1/4 inch versus the 3-5 inch Full Veneer, NTV offers a number of advantages over the full cut. Still a natural, quarried option that gives the beauty and feel only Mother Nature can produce, choosing Natural Thin Veneer subtracts nothing from the integrity of your structures. Apex Stone offers Ashlar, Ledgestone, Colonial, Tumbled, and Fieldstone varieties of Thin Veneer, giving you an array of economically sound building options.

Natural Thin Veneer Saves You Money

Due to its lightweight cut and shape, Natural Thin Veneer Stone takes less time to lift and manage for masons, which means more money in your wallet. It also takes less diesel and energy to transport - which may cut your costs as well.

Natural Thin Veneer is a "Green" Stone Product

Natural Thin Veneer Corner - Austin LimestoneAs a 75% lighter option than full veneer, NTV is an environmentally friendly product for two key reasons: it takes less fuel and energy to transport and it also takes less lumber and concrete to support.

Trucks used to transport thin veneer stone can transport a much higher percentage of square footage, which therefore reduces diesel fuel consumption and the amount of greenhouse gases being released into our environment.

In structures (such as your home), Thin Stone Veneer calls for less support and therefore less lumber and concrete production and transportation. In turn, you can reduce the demand of Earth's most precious and widely used natural resources. In addition, Natural Thin Veneer Stone still offers the energy efficiency perks that come with the utilization of natural stone in your home.

Our Natural Thin Veneer Stone gives you all of the pluses of going natural. You are still given an array of beautiful stone options, each piece is guaranteed to be unique, and unlike manufactured materials, each piece can be custom cut for a final product that no one else has but you.
