Quarry cut stone or quarry stone is characterized by it’s authentic look and feel. Traditionally, quarry stone was found in the area of a construction site and used as the building material. In previous centuries the quarry was set up along large geographic areas that contained the rock, boulder and or stone that was meant to be used as the building material. The builders would try to find sites that were as close as possible to the build site to minimize transportation costs.

Another benefit to using locally cut quarry stone was that the structure would then take on the texture and colour of the surrounding geographic landscape. This gave the structures a natural and organic feel. Many customers have wanted to create this look for their own stone wall structures. All you need to do is find out what kind of rock formations naturally occur in your geographic region. You don’t even need a typographic map, simply taking a stroll to an area with rock formations will do the trick.

If you’re looking to create realistic quarry stone effect for your interior or exterior stone wall then simply choose a geographically appropriate stone.

There are many different stone veneer patterns that will create the natural stone wall effect. Simply choose the stone that is most appropriate for your location. If you live in an area with rivers and streams then the River Rock pattern would work well for an interior stone wall. Alternatively if you live in an area that has an abundance of a natural rock formation like limestone than the Limestone would be the natural choice. Do some research around the area and choose a quarry stone that resembles the landscape of the area.
