Urban Ledgestone

Arriscraft, manufacturer of naturally made products that emulate quarried stone, introduces Urban Ledgestone – a new Building Stone product designed with simple installation in mind. This natural, ledgestone-style Building Stone features long, sleek lengths in three sizes and two striking colors: Dusk and Frost. Urban Ledgestone is Arriscraft’s first product designed to be installed in a coursed pattern, which is incredibly easy and efficient to install (masons can pick automatically from the skid, installing one size at a time, without having to maintain a specific pattern). Urban Ledgestone also can be installed in a more traditional ashlar pattern. Either configuration creates a modern, elegant result.

Arriscraft manufactures a vast range of premium stone for commercial and residential projects, including full-bed Renaissance® Masonry Units and Building Stone, Thin-Clad adhered and clipped veneers, Adair® Limestone, and cast accessories. Designers can select from a truly comprehensive line of styles – from old-world to contemporary – in natural colors, with custom applications available.

In modern commercial construction, spatial real estate has become just as valuable as the materials themselves. The industry shift toward high-density, urban projects means that the sprawling job sites of the past have been replaced by tight footprints wh
