Alamo Stone Company offers a wide variety of natural thin veneer stone quarried from around the world. We offer over 400 different selections with a wide array of colors, shapes, sizes, and textures. Our thin natural stone is ideal for any exterior or interior project.
Alamo thin stone products are light-weight, durable, and are made from a full thickness natural stone. We combine our state of the art cutting facility with experienced stone cutters to make a truly unique natural thin veneer. Each piece of stone is hand selected, cut, and carefully packaged for each project. L-corner units, special cut to size pieces, and custom blends are also available.
At one quarter the weight of full stone, our Alamo Thin Stone is faster to install verses the full size stone and less expensive to ship to your project. Alamo Thin Stone is competitively priced and is the natural choice alternative to manufactured and simulated stone products.
