Description
The Sunset Split Village pattern of Real Rock® Thin Stone Veneer is a captivating blend of rectangular pieces of Blue Gray Rubble Quartzite Sandstone and Mountain Fieldstone Rubble. These aren’t just any stones; they are authentic, durable Southern Appalachian Stone™, celebrated for their natural beauty and resilience. The individual stones in this distinctive pattern are consistently between 7 and 8 inches in height, with lengths that vary, adding to the organic and handcrafted appeal. A key characteristic is their split face, achieved by cutting the stones against the grain. This meticulous process reveals the stone’s intricate natural veining, creating a rich texture and depth that catches the light beautifully. For installation, this versatile stone pattern offers flexibility: it can be applied with or without visible mortar joints, allowing you to customize the aesthetic to perfectly match your design vision, from a rustic, dry-stacked look to a more traditional, mortared finish.
The Sunset Split Village pattern is thoughtfully offered in two distinct depths to accommodate a range of construction requirements: Thin Stone Veneer and Thick Wall Stone. Our Real Rock® Thin Stone Veneer is approximately 1 ½ inches deep, making it an incredibly versatile option. Its lightweight nature allows it to be applied to virtually any light-weight-bearing surface without the need for additional structural framing or support, simplifying installation and expanding its application possibilities. In contrast, Thick Wall Stone is a full-bed depth stone, requiring application to surfaces specifically designed to bear its substantial weight, typically used in more traditional masonry applications where depth and structural mass are desired.
This particular pattern is a highly sought-after choice for both residential and commercial projects, and for good reason. Natural stone, by its very nature, is inherently weather and UV resistant, ensuring that its beauty endures for decades without fading or degradation, regardless of exposure to the elements. This makes it an ideal selection for both interior and exterior applications. Whether your goal is to dramatically upgrade the façade of a commercial building, creating an impressive and inviting exterior, or to craft a warm, one-of-a-kind fireplace for your home that becomes a true focal point, the Sunset Split Village pattern provides an excellent, enduring, and aesthetically pleasing solution. Its timeless appeal and robust performance ensure lasting customer satisfaction.
