Natural stone is made by nature and is quarried and cut into various shapes for different uses. Manufactured stone (also known as stone veneer or cultured stone) is made of a cement mixture that is poured into molds and colored to look like real stone. The popularity of manufactured stone veneers has grown exponentially in the past several years as people have realized they can achieve the look and feel of real stone at a lower cost.

Horizon Stone veneers do not need regular cleaning. If you feel like cleaning is needed, simply follow these easy steps: Mix one cup of mild dishwashing or laundry detergent with 3 gallons of hot, clean water. Never use muriatic acid or harsh chemicals to clean your stone veneer. Dip a clean cloth, sponge or soft brush into the mild soapy water and thoroughly wipe down the stone.. Do not use a wire brush. Rinse your stone with a low-pressure hose. Do not use a power washer. If inside, wipe the stone veneer with a clean cloth or sponge to remove any detergent. Let dry. Repeat if necessary. Similar to natural stone, color variation and scuffing are common. To remove scuffing, use water and a soft brush following the above instructions.

Once or twice a year, it is good to check your stonework for any signs of damage to the veneer or loose grout. If repair is needed, fill a mortar bag with vinyl-infused driveway mortar and add grout coloring to match your grout. Apply a medium tip to the bag and fill in any cracks. Wearing a latex glove, dampen your finger to smooth the grout and create a finished surface.
