About Franklin Stone™
Whether you prefer smooth texture and clean lines or a bold chiseled face, Franklin Stone™ is the ideal alternative to limestone and other natural stone products. Franklin Stone by Echelon is a cast stone masonry product that is available in veneers, sills, coping stones, and headers. These products are 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 its consistently smooth natural stone finish.
