Using Stacked Stone To Create Stunning Focal Points
June 26, 2015In the grand scheme of life, natural wins over synthetic every time! People are loving organic foods, soft cotton fabrics, sustainable building materials, and natural stone surfaces. They appreciate the health benefits, environmental perks, and beautiful looks these items provide. Natural stacked stone panels are no exception! They bring an amazing warmth, unique character, and timeless style to any space. You’ll see them more and more as kitchen backsplashes, eye-catching walls, home facades, and stylish patio partitions.
Designers, homeowners, and installers all adore stacked natural stone ledger panels. They offer so many advantages compared to faux-stone options. Let’s explore some of those fantastic benefits!
Good Value
Although they look much more luxurious, stacked stone ledger panels are priced similarly to their synthetic counterparts. They are designed for easy installation by both professionals and DIY enthusiasts, making them a budget-friendly option for a wide range of uses. The modular panels interlock in a puzzle-like manner, creating surfaces that appear seamless, highlighting their natural origins and rustic aesthetics.
In contrast to synthetic panels, which are often produced through environmentally harmful processes and materials, stacked natural stone ledger panels are made from cut pieces of limestone, slate, sandstone, travertine, or quartzite. This makes them attractive, eco-conscious, and suitable for green living designs.
Durable Character
Stacked natural stone ledger panels outlast faux polyurethane or plastic-composite alternatives. Real stone has withstood prolonged exposure to eroding winds, flowing water, corrosive minerals, and earth pressure over many years.
Consequently, you can trust that genuine natural stone ledger panels will stylishly endure a lifetime or longer, suitable for both interior and exterior settings. They retain their inherent color and visually attractive rough textures, even amidst harsh weather, temperature variations, cooking splashes, and vacuum cleaner scuffs. In comparison, faux-stone panels are more susceptible to fading and erosion, making natural stone ledger panels the superior durable option.
Versatile Performer
When you touch natural stone, you'll instantly know it's genuine (not artificial!). Authentic stacked natural stone ledger panels offer a delightful tactile experience and introduce warm textures, an element of drama, and striking surfaces to both indoor and outdoor environments. They come in various colors and combinations, making them perfect for styles ranging from classic to modern.
Beige-toned stone panels create a relaxed ambiance that complements contemporary indoor and outdoor living areas. Bluish-gray hues blend beautifully with dark wood finishes in transitional settings.
Rich brown and copper shades brighten up bathrooms, kitchens, and patios styled with white or stainless steel features. Whether used to enhance a wall or embellish an outdoor fireplace, stacked stone veneers contribute chic silhouettes to spaces of every size and style.
Ultimately, stacked natural stone ledger panels are superior to manufactured options as they represent authenticity. When you compare genuine stone panels with their faux counterparts visually and by touch, you'll realize that natural stone offers unique surfaces, providing timeless elegance to your home and landscape.
