New World Stone Works--This may be an architect's dream come true. This company can take stone from just about any quarry and pre cut it into exact shapes and provide a master plan that shows where each stone goes by number. Imagine the ability to design stone walls, fireplaces, exteriors, property walls, stone by stone and know that the materials would be delivered to your job color matched and pre-cut. New World Stone Works says that there is no waste and no dust at the job site from their product's installation since all the cutting has been done ahead of time by their super-sonic water-jet. It is a patented system that moves water mixed with sand at three times the speed of sound. They define details from the stone type, color range and pattern to the width of mortar joints and edge finish. If you have a photograph of a stonework style or historic work you want to match, they scan the photo and replicate the look for your job. New Age Stone Works can even control the degree of surface weathering. When you walk onto a jobsite using New World Stoneworks you won’t see piles of rubble, heaps of scrap, clouds of dust from noisy diamond blades or many of the other things you would normally expect to see with natural stone construction.This product needs to be compared to real stone for cost comparisons, not man made products. www.newworldstoneworks.com

There are 12 profiles and 58 colors. They are manufactured nationwide by regional manufacturing facilities and available through distributors coast to coast. Natural stones are individually chosen for uniqueness. Molds are crafted to replicate every textural detail. Natural color hues are formulated using iron oxide pigments. Colors are painstakingly hand applied to the molds. Stones are cast, unmolded and carefully packaged. The installed cost is 1/3 to 1/2 less than natural stone, it is lightweight, and requires no footings, wall ties or foundations. It has a 2% waste factor vs. 10% or more for natural stone. Permanent iron oxide dyes are applied and absorbed by the stone when it is cast, thus the color becomes an integral part of the stone. The base color is blended throughout and the mortar can be colored to match as well. There are no noticeable changes in the color after years of weathering. Eldorado Stone can be applied to any structurally sound surface and is installed directly to clean (unpainted and untreated) brick, block or concrete. www.eldoradostone.com
