- Only has to be re-caulked every 15-20 years. Since moisture penetration and stone efflorescence are eliminated.
- Environmentally Friendly: In many ways, these thin stone veneer panels are environmentally friendly, helping to reduce environmental impact and providing high energy efficiency through a radiant barrier and room for greater insulation materials. Eliminating moisture penetration also reduces the risk of mold growth while also providing better indoor air quality. Even the stone panels themselves meet many of the criteria used for LEED Standards because they are recyclable, reduce transportation during shipping and increase building insulation.
- The thin stone veneer panels can be used in earthquake prone areas.
