Make your exterior pop: Selecting stone to make your exteriors shine

Stone continues to be one of the most sought-after materials for both residential and commercial exteriors. Durable and long lasting, stone elevates any building’s appearance and looks fantastic on its own or paired with other siding materials. Recently, our team at Pacific Art Stone has witnessed a trend for light stone – a material that exudes elegance and makes exteriors shine. 

Here are some of the popular choices continually selected by our customers: 

Carmel Ledgestone

Carmel Ledge Farmhouse

 

Type of Stone: Sandstone
Pairs well with: Wood & Earth Tones

From the Altera Collection  

Carmel Ledgestone continues to be embraced in contemporary design trends, and is highly sought-after by clients exploring a farmhouse aesthetic. One of the most popular choices from our Altera Collection, Carmel Ledgestone has light colouring and a matte finish. With a profile that exudes class, this is a stone that strikes the perfect balance between rustic and contemporary. 

When our clients approached us to help with their South Surrey home build, they wanted to elevate the appearance of their home using a stone that would pair nicely with wooden design elements. Our team at Pacific Art Stone knew that Carmel Ledgestone’s creamy appearance would achieve the desired aesthetic. 

Columbia Ledgestone

Columbia Ledge

Type of Stone: Quartzite
Pairs well with: Contemporary Home Design & Dark Windows

From the Westlakes Collection

If you’re seeking something classy yet avant garde for your home’s exterior, look no further than Columbia Ledgestone. This unique stone from our Westlakes Collection has a bright white hue with a subtle burgundy undertone, and like all quartzite, has a slight shimmer due to the small crystals underneath the surface. 

Columbia Ledgestone is perfect for contemporary homes and grand estates. We suggest pairing it with dark windows to create a bold, dynamic contrast. Our team knew it would bring the right level of sophistication to our clients’ North Vancouver estate. 

Polar White Edge Cut

Polar White Edge Cut

Type of Stone: Manufactured
Pairs well with: Light grey, medium grey, and charcoal tones.

From the ProVia Collection

Polar White is one of the many manufactured stones we’re pleased to offer at Pacific Art Stone. The stone features white tones with a light grey variation, and has a matte finish to create a cohesive and inviting appearance. We recommend pairing Polar White with light greys and charcoal tones, and using the stone in a more intimate setting. 

Our clients were seeking a modern look for their Ladner home, and we knew Polar White would be the perfect fit for their vision. The stone has diverse applications: it can be dry-stacked, as seen here, or grouted for a more exploded brick style.
