What is BellaStone?
Posted on 17/04/09
In January of this year Broadleaf introduced BellaStone by Crane across Canada. Here’s what you need to know about BellaStone.
If you love the look of authentic hand-carved stone but felt you could never afford it BellaStone may be the answer for you. Not only does BellaStone make having stone more affordable for the rest of us, it provides faster installation, energy savings and unprecedented performance.
BellaStone is a manufactured stone product produced by thermally infusing real stone aggregate with natural colour pigments into a high grade polymer. This process insures that each individual stone has real stone aggregate and pigment on its surface. Like other manufactured stone products, the molds used to make BellaStone are taken off of natural quarried stones; however, BellaStone molds are taken off of sections of stone walls, creating a panelized product that installs faster, without the hassles of a masonry installation.
Here are a few of its features:
BellaStone was designed with ease of installation in mind. A general handyperson can install it.
Who Makes it?
Since 1947, Exterior Portfolio by Crane ® has been recognized for superior workmanship, durability and performance. Their commitment to quality continues with innovative products that people can depend on and be proud of, with beauty so strong and durable that they are able to back them with some of the industry’s most comprehensive and longest product warranties. When a company that has been around for over 70 years gives a 50 year warranty that means something.
