First impressions count, which is why street appeal is an important consideration when you're designing a new house. For many homeowners, it's also essential to choose materials that will ensure the house stands apart from its neighbours.

Incorporating strategically placed Stutex Stone is an easy and cost-effective way to visually enhance your home's facade. With the varied range of schist types, mountain stones, fieldstones, river rocks, and cobblestones available, it is possible to find the right texture, colour and size stone for almost any application.

Director Lorraine Goudie says these manufactured stone designs complement and blend with other contemporary building and roofing materials.

"Chimneys, pillars, entrance areas and gable ends are particularly well suited to the use of stone, which will provide visual impact and add value without a huge cost outlay," she says. "Stutex Stone products are about one third the weight of natural stone, which allows for considerable design flexibility. For example, the stone can be used on second storeys, where weight is an issue."
