What is cultured stone and how does it differ from natural stone?
Cultured stone, or manufactured stone veneer, is a man-made product cast in molds using a mixture of cement, lightweight aggregates, and iron oxide pigments. While it is designed to look like natural stone, it is much lighter, less durable, and has a repetitive molded texture compared to the solid, heavy, and unique nature of quarried stone.
