Arriscraft Building Stone Offers a Cost-Efficient, 100% Natural Alternative to Quarried Stone
Arriscraft, a General Shale Company, manufacturer of all-natural products which emulate actual quarried stone, uses a cement-free, Natural Process™ technology to produce its residential Building Stone collection, backed by an industry-unique Lifetime Warranty.
Only three components are used in the unique Arriscraft production process: silica sand, hydrated lime and high-quality iron oxide pigments. Mixed together and pressed with 1,000 tons of pressure, they become durable, strong and intimately bonded. From there, stones are subjected to high-pressure steam and heat.
This results in a calcium silicate hydrate binder, creating a 100% dimensionally stable, non-fading man-made stone unit.
Manufactured as “full bed” for standard installation (similar depth to traditional brick), Arriscraft Building Stone allows for a traditional masonry wall cavity system offering superior moisture protection.
The consistent “through-color” property of each product makes it possible to maintain original colors and textures even after on-site cutting, chiseling and dressing. And, waterproofing is never required with these products.
Arriscraft residential stone materials are ideal products for exterior cladding, as they have been developed to endure extreme climatic conditions.
Offered in a rich, natural color palette, the same materials selected for the outside of a building may be selected for interiors, as well. Fireplaces, indoor fountains, outdoor living rooms and more are opportunities to bring the outdoors indoors (and, vice versa), with a seamless transition.
From classic to contemporary, Arriscraft Building Stone is offered in an extensive style and color selection.
The vast selection provides premium stone options for every style of residential plan, from sleek, modern designs to old-world, tumbled finishes.
And, all products support LEED sustainability objectives, as well.
Easy to install and maintain, the entire Arriscraft collection of naturally manufactured stone materials provides architectural & design solutions throughout North America.
Headquartered in Cambridge, Ontario (62 miles west of Toronto), Arriscraft is a subsidiary of General Shale, the leading exterior building materials manufacturer in the United States.
