The sharp, blunt edges and uneven dimensions of stone create some of the most appealing facades for building facades and walls on the market. They’re not smooth and uniform like bricks, but they carry a similar sense of solid style that will last a lifetime. Erth Coverings has come up with a natural stone veneer they call the Aztec Strips Series that apply the same aesthetic using a thin, easier to install version of stone siding for a variety of different projects.

The Natural Stone Veneer by Erth Coverings Uses their Modern, Sharp-Edged Aztec Strip Series to Create a Stylish Facade

One of the most popular products used by design professionals from the Australian-founded but Canada-based company, Erth Coverings, is their Aztec Strips Series. With strong shadows and beautiful lines, the natural stone veneer they produce is available in four different colors: Cedarstone, Sienna Brown, Silver Fox and Coral White. In order to make sure you’re ordering a quality stone veneer, Erth Coverings allows you to order a sample that will show the random variations in color and texture. With this type of facade, the natural stone should not look like tiling or brick work – with one piece appearing to be the same shape and size as the next.

Random packs of 6.5 square feet each are available in the color of your choosing, and random heights of 1″, 2″ or 3″ are included. The thickness of the natural stone veneers by Erth Coverings measure 1/2″ to 1″, ensuring the dramatic look in an adaptable version of stone that won’t cost as much as tedious full stone applications.

Erth Coverings was established in 2002 by Ivan Rapa. A building renovator by trade, Ivan lived most of his life in Australia, and made Canada his new home in 1998. On a return visit to Australia in 2002, Ivan was impressed by a new light weight stone covering product. Upon returning home, Ivan discovered that the product was unavailable in Canada and in late 2002 Ivan succeeded in bringing the first container of product to Canada. This new product launched Erth Coverings into the exciting world of stone veneer. Since 2002, Erth Coverings has evolved into a North American leader in the distribution of high quality, natural stone veneers.
