Stoneyard.com Launches Online Project Visualizer

Stoneyard.com
Littleton, Mass.

Natural New England Stone Veneer producer Stoneyard.com has released an online visualization tool for contractors, retailers, homeowners, architects and other stone professionals. The Project Visualizer is a tool that will show potential stone consumers how their projects will look with their choice of stone before they buy. Stoneyard.com says one of the hardest things for stone purchasers to figure out is whether a color and shape will look good on their fireplace, on their house, on their wall, etc. Now they can see how it will look in their space, before placing even one stone, by just uploading a picture of the potential stone project, selecting the location, choosing from the many different New England Stone Veneer product options, saving and viewing the before-and-after picture. This virtual mock-up can help narrow the choices for buyers, making the stone-purchasing process less complicated. This tool will show buyers not only different colors and shapes, but also which stone will look best on a project.
