Why Designers & Builders Choose Loose Stone Cladding

Our Stacked Stone Panels are a cornerstone product for our global partners because they deliver on the three things that matter most: superior aesthetics, efficient installation, and long-term performance. This section breaks down the core advantages of specifying our natural stone panels for your projects.

Whether creating an organic, curved wall with our Free Form collection or a clean, modern facade with our Linear Ledgestone, individual stones empower masons to create truly unique, custom patterns and build on any structure.

Unmatched Authenticity:

This system creates a genuine, full-depth stone wall with natural shadow lines and unique character in every piece. It’s the definitive choice for clients who demand the look and feel of traditional, hand-laid masonry..

Engineered for Efficiency:

Engineered for Authentic Masonry & Modern Installation

Our loose stone is more than just quarried rock; it’s a complete system engineered to blend timeless, artisanal aesthetics with modern installation efficiency. Discover the features that make our loose stone the superior choice for high-end, authentic projects.

Precision Sawn-Back Surface

This is our most critical manufacturing advantage. While the face of each stone is naturally split, the back is precision-sawn to be perfectly flat. This creates a uniform surface for 100% adhesive coverage, ensuring a stronger, more reliable bond and making the installation process significantly faster than with traditional, irregular-backed stone.

High-Density, Weather-Resistant Stone

We select premium, high-density natural stone like Quartzite, Slate, and Sandstone for our loose stone collections. These materials are chosen for their proven durability, low maintenance, and ability to withstand the elements in demanding exterior and landscape applications.

Factory-Made Full-Depth Corners

We provide a complete solution for a true masonry look. Our factory-made, L-shaped corner units are full-depth, solid pieces of stone, not thin veneers. They create strong, authentic corners that are integral to the wall, eliminating the need for complex and less durable on-site fabrication.

Calibrated for Specific Styles

Our loose stones are not just random pieces. They are carefully sorted and calibrated into distinct architectural styles—from the organic, rustic shapes of our Free Form collection to the clean, horizontal lines of our Linear Ledgestone. This gives designers precise control over the final aesthetic.

Authentic Split Face Finish

Every piece of our loose stone is hand-split by skilled artisans to reveal the natural cleft and unique character of the quarry stone. This ensures a one-of-a-kind, non-repeating finish with authentic texture and depth that manufactured products simply cannot replicate.

A Complete Artisanal System

From the sawn-back flats to the full-depth corners and the curated style collections, the entire system is designed to give architects and builders the tools to create authentic, traditional masonry with modern efficiency. This reduces guesswork and ensures a high-quality result.

The Installation Process Overview for Loose Stone Cladding

Installing loose stone is a craft that creates a timeless, authentic masonry wall. This is a summary of the key phases for professional masons. A complete, detailed guide is available for download.

Step-by-step guide on measuring items for stacking arrangements

Step 1: Structural Substrate Preparation

  • A successful loose stone installation requires a solid, structural base. The wall surface must be a clean, load-bearing masonry substrate like a Concrete Masonry Unit (CMU) block or a poured concrete wall. For framed walls, a proper lath and scratch coat system is essential.

Step 2: Mortar Mixing & Application

  • This is critical for a permanent, mechanical bond. We recommend a high-quality, Type S or Type N masonry mortar. The mortar is applied to the scratch coat, and the back of each individual stone is also ‘back-buttered’ with mortar just before placement to ensure 100% coverage and adhesion.

Step 3: Stone & Corner Installation (The Art of Masonry)

  • This is where craftsmanship comes in. Start from the bottom and work up. Fit stones together like a puzzle, varying size and shape to create a natural pattern. Our full-depth L-shaped corner pieces are installed first at each corner to establish a strong, authentic edge to build from.

Step 4: Cutting & Shaping

  • For a perfect fit, individual stones will need to be cut or shaped on-site. A wet saw with a diamond blade is used for clean, straight cuts. For more organic shapes, masons may use a hammer and chisel to trim and shape the stone for a custom fit.

Step 5: Jointing, Cleaning & Sealing

  • The final step defines the style. For a ‘Dry Stack’ look, the mortar is kept hidden deep behind the stones. For a Mortared look, the joints are filled and can be ‘raked’ for a clean or rustic finish. After the mortar has fully cured, clean the wall and apply a breathable, impregnating natural stone sealer.

A Professional Comparison for Your Clients

Understand the key advantages of our natural stone panel system. Here is a detailed, objective analysis of how our panels perform against traditional full-bed masonry and manufactured (cultured) stone alternatives.

Aesthetic & Design Flexibility

Loose Stone Cladding System

✓ Authentic & Bespoke. Offers limitless design possibilities for a one-of-a-kind, artisanal wall. The individual stones allow for installation on complex curves, arches, and custom patterns. Maximum design freedom.

Stacked Stone Panel System

– Consistent & Efficient. Provides a beautiful, uniform look with a repeating panel pattern. However, it is best suited for flat, linear surfaces and has limited flexibility for custom shapes.

Full-Bed Natural Stone Masonry

✓ The Original Authenticity. The benchmark for a true, traditional stone wall. Also offers maximum design freedom.

Installation & Total Project Cost

– Requires Skilled Mason. Installation is a craft that requires an experienced mason. However, our sawn-back feature simplifies and speeds up the process compared to traditional methods. The total project cost is moderate to high.

✓ Installer-Friendly. The interlocking panel system is designed for rapid installation by general contractors, significantly lowering labor costs and the total project cost.

X Requires Master Mason. A highly skilled and very time-consuming process. It is by far the most expensive installation method due to extreme labor requirements.

Structural Requirements

✓ Applied as a Veneer. As a cladding, it is applied to a structurally sound, load-bearing substrate (like a CMU wall). It does not require a large concrete footing, making it versatile for both new builds and renovations.

✓ Applied as a Veneer. Also a lightweight veneer system that does not require a structural footing, offering similar versatility.

X Is the Structure. This is a heavy, structural wall system itself. It requires a massive concrete footing and foundation for support, significantly increasing engineering and construction costs.

How We Ensure Quality and Reliability From Our Factory to Your Door

As a direct manufacturer, we have complete control over our process. This transparency is your assurance of quality, consistency, and a secure supply chain.

Precision Manufacturing & Quality Control

Our process begins with premium raw materials from our own quarries. We use advanced infrared cutting equipment for precise dimensions, ensuring every panel interlocks perfectly. Our experienced artisans then assemble each panel by hand, adhering to strict alignment standards. Throughout production, our dedicated QC team performs inspections at three separate stages—post-cutting, post-assembly, and pre-packaging—to guarantee every single piece meets our high standards for quality and durability.

Advanced & Efficient Processes

We use advanced infrared cutting equipment to ensure every panel is precisely cut to the imperial dimensions (e.g., 6" x 24") that the North American market expects. This accuracy leads to a perfect fit, which reduces on-site installation time and costs for contractors.

Secure & Professional Packaging

We understand that protecting your investment during transit is critical. Our multi-step packaging process is designed for the rigors of international shipping. Panels are first packed in sturdy, reinforced cardboard boxes with protective layering. These boxes are then stacked securely into robust, fumigated wooden crates that are built to withstand heavy loads and prevent movement. Each crate is clearly labeled for easy inventory management upon arrival..

Reliable Global Loading & Shipping

A well-packed crate is only half the battle. Our experienced logistics team ensures that every container is loaded strategically to maximize space and minimize the risk of shifting during transit. We use steel straps and heavy-duty airbags to secure the crates inside the container, ensuring your order arrives intact and on schedule. We ship over 220 containers annually and have perfected this process.

The Sustainable Choice for Lasting Landscapes & Buildings

Natural stone is an excellent choice for environmentally conscious projects. Its durability, natural composition, and ability to work with the environment align with modern green building principles.

Lasting Material, Low Impact

Natural stone is one of the most durable building materials on earth, with a lifecycle that can be measured in centuries, not decades. This extreme longevity reduces the need for replacement and minimizes the future waste associated with a building’s lifecycle. Compared to highly processed manufactured materials, our quarried and split stone has a lower embodied energy, making it a sound environmental choice.

Healthy Landscapes & Buildings

Our natural stone is completely free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and contains no harmful chemicals or synthetic additives, contributing to healthier indoor and outdoor air quality. Furthermore, when used for landscape walls with permeable joints, loose stone can help with natural water drainage and reduce storm-water runoff, a key principle of sustainable landscape design.

Transparent, Natural Source

We believe in a transparent supply chain. Our materials are sourced directly from our own well-managed quarries. By choosing our natural stone, you are choosing a simple, honest material from the earth, not a complex, factory-made composite. This provides peace of mind and a direct connection to the natural world.
