Custom Stone Supply Expects New Masonry Veneer to Take Texas and Dallas/Fort Worth Market by Storm
DUFFERIN® Stone offers the look and charm of natural stone at an affordable installed cost
DALLAS (May 10, 2004) - One of the state's largest masonry providers today announced the introduction of a new stone veneer into the Texas marketplace, and predicted an enthusiastic response and explosive sales. Custom Stone Supply introduces DUFFERIN® Stone, a masonry veneer that provides the distinctive look of natural stone in both its color and texture and has a versatile design that allows for both exterior and interior applications.
"DUFFERIN Stone offers a unique alternative to traditional masonry products that are typically limited in color and texture," said Steve Bond, president of Custom Stone Supply. "We're thrilled to be selling this product because we know its variety of color options, rustic, finished look and overall affordability will make DUFFERIN Stone a top seller in Texas and the Dallas/Fort Worth market."
Builders can recreate the appearance of classic structures by using DUFFERIN Stone as a full exterior cladding or as an accent. Area builders can customize the look of a home to suit a customer's taste by merely changing the percentage of large to small stones and the style of mortar joints.
The product can also be used in a limited manner to create the same majestic effects in a home's interior as well. For instance, DUFFERIN Stone's modular design makes it easy for a masonry crew to build a fireplace or wine cellar using the veneer. And Surround Stone can be used to add an authentic appearance around door and window openings.
DUFFERIN Stone is more attractive and versatile than brick, and installs just as easily. So builders can use a masonry team to complete the project instead of having to contract with a specially trained crew. Every quarry-like piece in the DUFFERIN Stone line has a four-inch thick veneer and is laid using mortar, making the finished product both durable and maintenance-free.
Homes built using DUFFERIN Stone can be completed quickly because the product's modular stone pieces require little onsite alteration. As a result, DUFFERIN Stone is a cost-effective alternative to natural stone, enabling builders to create unique homes using standardized products and labor.
The stately appearance of DUFFERIN Stone makes it a suitable product for both residential and commercial applications. The veneer is gaining broad acceptance among architects nationwide, who are designing commercial and institutional projects such as churches, universities, museums and retail centers.
DUFFERIN Stone is as durable as its natural counterpart but has more color consistency and is designed to handle the toughest of elements.
