A stone as monumental as granite, at half the cost
Discerning architects select stately Featherlite Hill Country Stone to solve daunting building challenges. The rich granular Hill Country Stone matrix of limestone and expanded shale endures against the elements, yet installs for forty to fifty percent less than granite. Timeless architectural beauty meets timely construction value in one “blue sky” building stone achievement.
“The Capitol view corridor and a tight site severely limited the scale of this office building and drove a conservative budget. In the shadow of the Capitol, however, we still wanted a granite-like finish. Only 16x24 Featherlite Terrazzo Hill Country Stone gave us that look and scale cost-effectively. We just smile now when people compliment the “granite” walls. — Ed Reh, AIA, Austin
