In an executive summary style format of the real savings you can achieve with manufactured stone cladding are:

1. Save money

2. Save on installation costs

3. Save on freight costs

4. Save time

5. Save on availability

6. Save on searching for the colour you want

7. Save the environment

8. Save Australian jobs and the economy

And at the same time as you save on the items above you also receive a high quality product, a controlled and predictable material without flaws and faults.

Let's start with the save money concept.

That's always high on peoples agenda these days right?

Manufactured stone veneer is a very economical alternative to natural stone. You can expect savings of around 30% on the overall materials purchase compared to natural stone.

You can also save on installation costs compared to natural stone installation. Because manufactured stones are so light weight and easy to install ( you don't require skilled labour or any special tools like natural stone ) it takes less time to install thus less money from your hip pocket.

Save on freight costs. Because manufactured stone veneer is manufactured locally and not imported from overseas, you don't have to pay exorbitant international freight costs. This freight cost really adds up. Because freight is based upon weight and you can imagine how heavy natural stone is...it wouldn't take much imagination to quickly figure out in your head that you would be paying a lot of money for freight if you were importing materials from overseas.

With artificial stone veneer you don't have to worry about availability. Your order can be processed promptly and delivered in a very short period of time. You don't have to worry about sourcing specific colours like a natural stone product so you save on time by not waiting for limited colour materials to arrive. Your interior design project runs smoothly thus saving you stress too.

You also save considerable time when you choose to install manufactured stone veneer. Because the stone veneer is cast in manageable sheets it is quick to install much like a ceramic tile is. The stone veneer is usually around 9 to 14 mm thick in sheet width so it is relatively light and easy to fix in place. Imagine being able to complete a stone cladding project in 1 day compared to 2 or 3 days with heavy natural stone?

The availability of the artificial stone veneer materials is also a saving in your favour. Because you can order your stones ( in a colour of your choice ) and have them readily available to you, you don't have to wait and hope that a certain colour has been quarried like a natural stone.

And on a grander scale of saving, when you purchase your fake stone product from Custom-Made Stones you are saving the Australian economy and Australian jobs. You can say that you are buying a fantastic interior design product and also buying an Australian family a job at the same time. Everyone wins. And the flow on effect from buying an Australian product is that you are boosting our Australian economy.

And lastly save the environment. By choosing manufactured stone veneer you are choosing to use a renewable resource. Rather than depleting the world of its finite natural stone product and mining areas of natural beauty to extract the stone, we use controlled cement materials to form our stones.

By forming our manufactured stone veneer in a light weight thin panel, we use much less materials to cover the same area as would a natural stone product. We don't have any excess wastage of our materials like a natural stone product does. It takes a lot of cutting and wastage to make a natural stone piece that is usable. And that wastage cannot be used in an interior design project. Our replicas stones are made to order and the quantity of material required to make your exclusive design is measured precisely. No wastage...and the environment thanks you for making this choice.
