About Franklin Stone™ 1-inch
Whether you prefer smooth texture and clean lines, or a bold chiseled face, Franklin Stone™ 1-inch stone veneers are the ideal product for the look of cast stone with modern manufactured masonry veneer advantages. Franklin Stone™ masonry block is made from a mixture of white portland cement combined with fine aggregates, resulting in a highly dense product with a texture similar to that of natural limestone. Unlike other masonry units, the aggregates do not show giving Franklin Stone™ 1-inch block its consistent, natural finish.
