Exterior Walling Introduction

Stone is available in a wide range of styles, colors and textures hence gives designers and builders a great deal of freedom. Stone is an extremely durable building material. As an exterior surface, stone resists wear from wind, rain and ice. It also resists fading from the sun. Stone walls are impervious to insect damage and won't rot when exposed to moisture. They are able to withstand fire, reducing the severity of damage to a home and the cost of repairs.
