Stone Selex and DIY Products.

Stone Selex products are made for the the do-it-yourself enthusiast. Their lightweight design make them practical, efficient and easy to work with. The advantages of using stone veneer products as opposed to real stones are many. Below is a breakdown of the main benefits to using Stone Selex Stone Veneer products.
For one, they are much less expensive than real stones. This is because of their weight and composition. The materials used to create Stone Selex products were created with the consumer in mind. The manufacturers combine authenticity, practicality and affordability when designing our products. Stone veneer like Quick Fit, Fieldstone and the new Cathedral Stone are made to replicate the look of natural stones. A lot of time and effort is put into mimicking the size, texture and colour of the real stones but the trick is creating a product that is less expensive and easier to work with. The manufacturers have succeeded and are continually improving on their design.

As mentioned earlier another great advantage to using Stone Selex products is their thin design which allows them to weigh much less the real stone. Take an ordinary brick and compare the width to that of a stone veneer from our Old Antique Brick Line.

When you put the two together you can see that the Old Antique Brick veneer looks like a cross section of the other brick, a piece of bread from the loaf. Why bother with toasting an entire loaf of bread when all you want is a single slice? In other words what’s the point of using real brick in a space when you can achieve that same look with brick veneer for a fraction of the price? The stone’s pretty much speak for themselves.
Perhaps the greatest advantage to using Stone Selex products is that they are designed for self installation. No need to hire an experienced stone mason, Stone Selex products are easy to work with and are quite versatile. All you need is the proper tools, the right instructions and of course some inspiration…the rest is easy.
