Starting the new year with a home remodeling project can be exciting. It’s a goal that can increase the value of your home while also providing a fresh look to your environment. Unless your focus for remodeling is to address health and safety risks, the investment you make toward remodeling is best spent on projects that improve your home’s appearance.

The material you use when you remodel can make a significant difference to your return on investment (ROI). Remodeling with stone veneer provides luxury with a great ROI. According to Remodeling magazine’s 2018 Cost vs. Value Report, manufactured stone veneer offers a 97.1% ROI.

To help get you thinking about how you’ll want to improve your home with stone in 2019, we’ve compiled a list of ideas for a new look.

Install a new stone veneer backsplash in your kitchen.

The kitchen is often called the heart of the home. If you are planning on redoing your kitchen, stone can help provide a warm and inviting area for family and friends to gather. An ideal place to add a stone veneer feature in the kitchen is the backsplash. A beautiful backsplash using stone veneer provides a textural element, and the warm tones of stone blend beautifully with cabinets and countertops.

Create minimalism with an accent wall.

Placing a stone veneer accent wall in any room in your home will create a focal point that is impressive. An accent wall provides textural interest and offers a clean and simple look. Fieldstone Center has a wide range of stone veneer products, both natural and manufactured, to choose from. We can help you find the stone to create the perfect look for your decorating style.

Design a dreamy bathroom.

Sleek, stone surfaces are welcome in a bathroom, but you can also add depth with texture along the walls or in the shower. Using a material such as manufactured stone has the same look as natural stone but has more consistency in its colors. This makes it a great choice for bathrooms where you want the same color distribution along the walls and in accessories.

Make a statement with a stunning fireplace.

There is something that speaks grandeur when you walk into a living area with a stone fireplace that extends to the top of the vaulted ceilings. Some great features about stone veneer are that it is lightweight, durable and easy to install for this type of remodeling project.

Whether you want to use it as inlaying in your landscaping, for the construction of an outside retreat, or in the facing along walls of your home, here are 10 advantages of using stone veneer:

1. Lightweight – As an alternative to thick, bulky stone, it is lightweight and easier to work for projects where you have limited space or weight requirements.
2. Durable – The thin layers are cut from real stone that resists weather and ultraviolet damage if used in exterior projects. Depending on the stone type, durability will vary.
3. Hard – Like durability, the hardness will vary depending on the type of stone. Granite is the hardest. And since it is hard, it is not easily chipped.
4. Maintains Color – It will not fade or discolor over time. Additionally, a surface scratch or chip that does occur will reveal the same rock consistency beneath it. So scratches and chips are not easily noticeable.
5. Variety – Decorators love it! There is as much of an abundance of colors, textures, and shapes as there are types of stones to choose from.
6. Versatile –Interior and exterior applications work very well. It doesn’t need a footing or support ledge that requires anchoring. Instead it is adhered to the surface, making this ideal for remodeling projects.
7. Customization – It can be custom-cut for the thickness and face size that you want. And with the consistency in the manufacturing process, you will not be sacrificing look or quality!
8. Ageless Beauty – The cut maintains the beauty of the natural stone that it is cut from.
9. Inexpensive – It is often called the “economic” stone because it weighs less due to the thin cut. Since it is lightweight and less bulky, you will see a savings with less production costs and in your shipping and application time.
10. Low to Zero Maintenance – Exterior surfaces can be cleaned by pressure washing. And if you have a sealed product, you will periodically have to reseal it, but that is all. It’s that simple to maintain!

As you can see, thin stone veneer has many advantages for projects at your residence or commercial property. Be sure to look for quality and value that is found in thin stone veneer compared to synthetic stone.
