Arriscraft Introduces Dramatic 32” Evolution Stone Masonry Unit

 

CAMBRIDGE, ONTARIO – Arriscraft, manufacturer of naturally-made products that emulate quarried stone, introduces the Evolution Full Bed Masonry Unit: a long, sleek format sought after by architectural customers.

Arriscraft is the stone products group of General Shale, the North American subsidiary of Wienerberger AG and a leading manufacturer of brick, one of the world’s oldest green building materials.

Arriscraft has answered the demand for longer stone products with its introduction of the impressive Evolution stone. The company’s engineering team upgraded existing manufacturing technology to accommodate production of this large masonry unit. For years, architects have expressed interest in a longer Arriscraft stone; Evolution gives these customers a new opportunity for incredible design impact. Evolution masonry units are available in two sizes (3-5/8” high x 31 5/8” long and 7-5/8” high x 31-5/8” long), at regular full-bed depth, and in four standard colors: Carbon, Nutmeg, White and White, in a sandblasted finish.

Arriscraft’s Natural Process technology uses only natural materials (plus color pigments) and replicates how stone is created in the earth. This patented process creates Building Stone with the natural aesthetics and durability of quarried stone, plus the convenience of standard installation and unlimited supply.
