Pinnacle Stone veneer is produced at a zero-landfill facility. All of the water used for cooling
and dust suppression is recycled utilizing an advanced water filtration system. The only
production by-product is stone fragments from the cutting process, which are returned to our

APPLICATIONS
Imagine being able to have the look and feel of real, natural stone on the façade
of your home or fireplace without the structural restraints needed using big, bulky
building stone. Pinnacle Stone’s thin stone veneer is strong, but lightweight enough
to be used in many applications where the look and feel of real stone is desired, but
not the weight. Many people question what applications our thin stone veneer can
be applied to. We think the question should be, “Where can’t you use it?”

SPIRAL ELEGANCE
This beautiful eastern Pennsylvania home is the
perfect example of design architecture embracing
change to solve a problem. The dilemma: a
demand by a skeptical builder to utilize full-bed
stone on the face of this unique and exquisite
dwelling, and a tricky internal stairwell that also
cried out for the same rich natural stone treatment.
With no structural footing available, the problem
was met with a crystal clear solution. The old world
would meet with the new.
The same Pinnacle Stone Products’ Amber stone
veneer that was used to wonderfully satisfy the
aesthetic needs on the outside of this treasure of
a home was cut into a thin stone veneer product,
used internally on the main stairwell, and now
exactly mimics the demanding curves of the
exterior full veneer stone turret, right down to the
detailed stone arches above the windows.
Pinnacle Stone Products’ thin stone veneer can
be used in nearly any building application where
beauty and performance are important.

Warranty/Disclaimer Information:
Pinnacle Stone Products, LLC (PSP) produces our products from natural stone.
Our products are provided to you with the utmost dedication to quality. However,
due to their natural construction, they are provided without warranty of any
kind either expressed or implied, but not limited to the implied warranties of
merchantability for a particular purpose.
Natural stone is a hard substance formed of mineral matter by nature. Due to
this fact, variations in color, texture, cleft, and size will occur. Samples, photos,
brochures, and digital images are taken to represent our products as accurately as
possible, but may slightly differ from the stone that you actually receive.
The laboratory tests conducted by PSP on our products are performed on a relative
sample of a particular product. These tests accurately report the specifications
of the stone sampled and will generally reflect the specifications found on the
majority of that product, but due to the variance in natural stone formations, these
specifications may not be reflective of all of the stone you receive.
Use of Chemicals or Acids for Cleaning:
Acids or chemical cleaners are not recommended for use with PSP’s products due
to the user’s inability to control the effects of these products on natural stone. User/
Installer accepts all risks in using these products. PSP will not be held responsible for
any discoloration, flaking or cracking resulting from the application of
these cleaners.
Blending Products:
PSP’s products are produced of the finest raw materials available to us. We strive for
excellence in every aspect during the production process to ensure consistency in
color, texture, and cut. However, when using multiple packages of PSP’s product,
it is necessary to blend the contents from the packages to ensure consistent color,
size and texture appearance on your project.
Color Matching:
When attempting to match the color and texture of an existing stone structure,
please be aware that our product is provided on an “AS IS” basis and is intended to
be used that way. Attempting to match a structure in this manner, though visually
successful, may result in excessive waste or an unintended result. Please speak to a
PSP representative before attempting any matching of an existing structure.
Coverage:
Exact coverage of PSP’s products cannot be guaranteed, as every installation
varies with the masonry style of the installer or project. Joint styles may vary, adding
or subtracting from suggested square footage amounts listed. The quantities of our
packaging will take into account a standard installation including a mortar joint.
Please keep this in mind when ordering PSP’s products.
Using PSP’s Products Safely:
Please use safety equipment such as eye, hearing, respiratory, and hand protection
when using, handling, or installing PSP’s product. Some of our stone products may
contain crystalline silica or other potentially harmful substances which, if inhaled,
may cause severe damage to the lungs. For these reasons we do not recommend
