What is Stone Veneer?
Stone veneer is a decorative building material used to replicate the look of natural stone. It is typically used for exterior wall cladding to add depth or aesthetic appeal to properties. Stone veneer is manufactured by molding concrete to mimic the appearance of natural stone, making it lighter and more cost-effective than traditional stone masonry. It can be applied to various surfaces, providing a versatile option for enhancing the aesthetic appeal of buildings while also offering some structural benefits.
Benefits of Stone Veneer
Stone veneer offers numerous benefits including aesthetic appeal, increased property value, and durability. It’s also lighter and less expensive than traditional stone, making it a practical choice for many homeowners and businesses. Additionally, stone veneer provides good insulation, potentially reducing energy costs.

Types of Faux Stone Veneer
The world of stone veneer is diverse, offering a variety of faux stone types and profiles each suited to different architectural styles and preferences.
Limestone Veneer
If you’re looking for a manufactured stone profile with a simple, classic, and natural appearance, limestone could be a great choice for your home. ProVia’s limestone veneer is made with a high-quality blend of superior shale aggregates, Portland cement, and oxides to replicate stones from the Midwest, giving them an authentic look that can withstand extreme weather.
Fieldstone Veneer
The Fieldstone veneer profile is irregular, asymmetrical, and unique, drawing inspiration from natural stones deposited by glaciers and found in subsoil. The only constant in this collection is its randomness; straight edges, sharp points, and indistinct shapes blend beautifully, capturing the rustic charm of a country cottage or Fieldstone retaining wall.
Ledgestone Veneer
Our Ledgestone veneer profile’s jagged, rough, and random size and shape, as well as its earthy brown and gray hues, appear so authentic that you’d swear they were quarried naturally. Ledgestone veneer’s individual stones cast dramatic shadows that change with the position of the sun, giving this style a fluid and striking curb appeal.
Dry Stack Veneer
Dry Stack stone veneer is a collection of carefully selected stone of varying thicknesses in a variety of colors, including earthen grays, charcoals, golden browns, and plums. The compact, tightly layered profile and sandblasted visage exude timeless elegance. This dry stacked stone style, which requires no grout, fits together easily for a compact appearance.
River Rock Veneer
River Rock stone veneer profile features rounded corners and smooth surfaces. Each stone appears to have been gently polished by a flowing stream, with softened edges and lightly dimpled surfaces. Ideal for incorporating the soothing atmosphere of calm waters into interior and exterior design.
Ridge Cut Veneer
Ridge Cut manufactured stone is a ProVia exclusive. It is inspired by the rugged beauty of the landscape and has craggy contours for a distinct profile. Square, rectangular, and asymmetrical slabs of various sizes coexist as they would in nature, with deep cuts, rough surfaces, and varying proportions reminiscent of mountain ranges.
Edge Cut Veneer
Edge Cut manufactured stone profiles stand out for their definition and structure. Consistent, clean-cut edges and uniform sizes create a harmonious and coordinated appearance, but each stone has unique textures and shadow lines that add character.
Chisel Cut Veneer
Our Chisel Cut stone is distinguished by its variety—this profile combines the structure of predominantly rectangular shapes with irregular depths, diverse sizes, and varied textures, resulting in a balanced, complementary look with high visual impact. Chisel Cut manufactured stone veneer is suitable for both grouted and dry-stacked applications.
Terra Cut Veneer
New to the Provia stone veneer lineup, Terra Cut manufactured stone embodies the key characteristics of coarse-grained, glacier-worn, striated stones. Large and small slabs intertwine for a cobbled appearance, while multi-textured, rugged surfaces cast striking shadow lines. It provides a truly elegant look.
Natural Cut Veneer
Perfect for accent areas. This stone veneer profile recreates the appeal of Old Country architecture by using slab configurations with irregular sizes and textures. Rugged edges create a chiseled, uniform appearance, while disparate proportions provide a break in the block formations.
Precisionfit Veneer
PrecisionFit dry stack stone veneer is made up of various individual rectangular stones that have been combined into precast stone veneer sections. Individual stones in each precast section have defined rectangular shapes in a variety of sizes, giving the look depth and rugged character.
Thin Brick Veneer
ProVia Thin Brick veneer manufactured stone has the texture and appearance of real hand-made brick. Inspired by and molded from handmade, kiln-fired clay brick, it captures the distinct and consistent characteristics of traditional brickwork. The textured surfaces have a timeless appeal that works well with both traditional and modern architectural styles.
