ProVia takes great care in designing and producing its manufactured stone veneer. The company goes to an extraordinary level of detail to develop products that look and feel like natural stone. Learn about ProVia's philosophy and process in this slideshow.
2. A Natural Beginning
When it comes to manufactured stone
veneer, ProVia starts with the very basics:
Finding stones and rocks in nature that
offer a profile and color palette that we
believe will resonate with our customers,
usually something with plenty of
character.
3. The ProVia Process
We take the best parts of those
stones back to our facility and
make casts of them, which are
then used to create the molds for
our manufactured stone.
Because we base them on real
stones, our products offer the
natural shadow lines and depth
that are impossible to produce
with purely invented designs.
4. The ProVia Process
We then use aggregates like
high-quality Portland cement and
oxides to create a concrete-like
mixture that will match the look
and feel of the original stones.
Instead of using more sand or
cheap pigments, we employ the
best-quality aggregates and
oxides to provide an authenticity
that is unmatched in our industry.
5. The ProVia Advantage
ProVia’s detail-oriented approach to design and manufacturing is
just one of several characteristics that set our stone products
apart.
Our nine profiles and 10 color palettes also offer an unparalleled
range of stone veneer choices, giving each homeowner a look
and feel unique to their home.
Another differentiation that defines ProVia stone is the highly
detailed, natural profile created by our molds, compared to
shallow molds that offer little depth or character.
6. The ProVia Advantage
Our attention to detail comes
through in every facet of our
manufactured stone lines, including
the wide array of accessories
available, including:
• Mantels & brackets
• Keystones
• Utility trim accents
• Hearthstones
• Blocks & sills
• Window and door trim accents
• Wall caps and corners
7. Quality & Care, from Start to Finish
Even our packaging sets ProVia’s
stone apart: our sturdy boxes
ensure our stone arrives at the
job site exactly as it left the
factory, no dings or cracks along
the way.
We’re proud our manufactured
stone is certified by IAPMO, a
designation awarded to less than
10% of the nation’s stone veneer
manufacturers.
