Anasazi Stone is proud to offer Real Stone Thin Veneer and to promote eco-friendly building and design techniques.
There are several green aspects to Real Stone Thin Veneer. Because thin veneer stone weighs, approximately, 75% less than full-thickness stone, diesel fuel efficiency is sharply increased. Any truck and supporting equipment, which carries and delivers the stone, now carries several times more square footage than a truck hauling full-thickness stone. Quarry equipment is 2-3 times more efficient because each stone can be used several times, as opposed to just once. Not only does thin cut stone allow for more efficient fuel consumption but over time it will help reduce the amount of greenhouse gases emitted, by equipment and over-the-road transportation vehicles.
Because of its weight, thin veneer requires less structural support. This means less lumber and less concrete to produce, ship and install, in order to support a natural stone veneer. As a result, there is a lower demand on our most widely used natural resources.
In the building process, there is inherent waste of material…material which later ends up in the landfill. Natural stone excess is only a positive as it can be used in decorative projects, in the garden or simply returned to nature. The durability, longevity and timeless beauty, translates into no waste in the future.
Natural stone is a very low-maintenance veneer. Once the material is completely installed, little else is needed to maintain the stone over the years. No need for paint, sealers, or harsh cleaning products. This eliminates off gassing from toxic materials, adhesives or finish.
Unlike faux, factory-produced "stone," natural stone contains no toxins or compromising chemicals. It comes from the earth. You can’t get better than that. Buy natural stone and be sure you’re being sustainable.
From architectural design, to shipping, to installation, thin veneer is a product that offers fantastic economic and environmental benefits.
