Stone Homes: Fieldstone has a rich history of use in Quebec

For centuries, fieldstone has been used to create stone homes, churches and other buildings in Quebec that are both charming and eye-catching

Since the 1500′s, Quebec settlers used the Fieldstone they had at their disposal to build wonderful churches and stone homes. These historical buildings still stand today as a testament to the permanence and beauty of the Fieldstone itself.

It can be quite helpful to look at the collection of historical and contemporary buildings in our own locales for inspiration.  There is something identifiable about the Fieldstone look.  However, new stone products offer the consumer different textures, shapes, colours and price points to choose from.

Stone homes can be clad in Fieldstone in either natural stone or manufactured stone veneer

Once the consumer has decided that they want the Fieldstone look, they should find a supplier who can offer both natural and manufactured stone veneer products.  This ensures that you can choose the right stone at the right price for your home improvement project. Natural stone is more expensive than manufactured stone, so finding a supplier of both will provide you the best options and comparisons.
