Champion Stone Exterior Limestone Product

Following installation, a stone's long-term performance becomes equally as important as its appearance. Not all stones are well-suited for all climates - particularly freeze/thaw environments. Lueders limestone is beautiful, durable and designated appropriate for use in areas that experience a wide temperature swing throughout the year.

With almost limitless possibilities, the combination of stone material and pattern for wall veneer is a nuanced, but critical, decision that can define the spirit and aesthetic of an entire project. Whether the desired look is a clean, Mid-Century inspired residence with clean consistent building stone or a Tuscan farmhouse with more natural field stone, Champion Stone’s Lueders limestone is the perfect choice for you. We offer our limestone in both full depth and thin veneer to accommodate the individual requirements of your project.
