Palette of Possibilities: Exploring Terrado® Colors

Each of these colors is designed to bring the beauty of natural stone into your project with the added benefits of durability and ease of installation that come with manufactured veneers.
Versatile Beauty: Applications of Terrado® Stone Veneers
The versatility of these products is one of its most significant advantages. They can be used indoors and outdoors, and their lightweight nature makes them suitable for projects where the use of real stone might be less practical.
Inside, they can create stunning feature walls, fireplace surrounds, or even backsplashes in kitchens and bathrooms. For exterior applications, they are perfect for facades, landscaping walls, and other architectural features that require a touch of elegance and durability.
Simplified Style: Installing Terrado® Stone Veneers
One of the appealing aspects of these stone veneers is their ease of installation. Unlike natural stone, which is heavy and may require specialized tools and skills, these veneers are designed to be more user-friendly. They can be installed over a variety of surfaces, including concrete, brick, and even drywall, with the proper preparation.
The installation process generally involves applying a layer of mortar, positioning the veneers, and then applying grout if needed. Despite the simplified installation process, it's always recommended to follow the manufacturer's guidelines or consult with a professional to ensure the best results.
Lasting Splendor: Caring for Your Terrado® Stone Veneers
Caring for Terrado® Manufactured Stone Veneers is straightforward, making it an excellent choice for both busy households and commercial spaces. This product is designed to be resistant to the elements, including UV rays, moisture, and temperature fluctuations, ensuring they maintain their appearance over time.
Regular cleaning typically involves removing dust or debris with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, water or mild soap and scrubbing with a soft brush is recommended. It's essential to avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the surface.
