Manufactured
Stone Veneers
BY ARTHUR MINTIE
ADHERED MANUFACTURED STONE MASONRY VENEER (AMSMV) IS GAINING MOMENTUM AS A FINISH MATERIAL FOR EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR BUILDING CLADDING. AMSMV is a lightweight manufactured product, cast from cementitious materials, that is designed to look like natural quarried stone. AMSMV units are adhered to a structural wall with an adhesive and come in a wide range of finish sizes, facial dimensions, colors and thicknesses. Just look around your community, you will see AMSMV finishes in many applications including building facades, fireplaces, chimneys, columns and free-standing landscaping walls. The acceptance and rapidly growing usage of AMSMV by the design community and building owners alike is a great, new way for dimensional stone installation companies to expand their business opportunities.
