Stone Masonry is the use of natural stones for walls, columns, and foundations by binding them with cement and mortar. Sandstone and Limestone were traditionally used for stone masonry projects. Till the pre-modern architectural era, stones used for stone masonry projects were bulky and had to be used within areas where the transportation of stones was feasible. The great pyramids in Egypt are the best example of Stone Masonry workmanship.

In the modern architectural era, processing, joining and bonding techniques have improved. Natural stone thin veneer ledger became very popular for use as Stone Masonry to cover walls, pillars, and other offsets. Thin layered sandstone, limestone, quartzite, and schist are cut into random lengths with varying widths and pasted together as a flat panel. These panels are installed as covering for the walls, columns, and other offsets during construction. Corner pieces are also used to create seamless joints at the corners. This gives the effect of large blocks of stone used although it is a thinner layer that is durable and at the same time convenient and viable to transport across continents. Thus, Indian natural stone products can be used anywhere worldwide as pre-paneled stone veneer ledgers.

In the Modern and Contemporary Architectural Eras, the castle pattern is replicated in flat panels as well as corners.

Height: 5.3cm to 8.3cm (2 1/4"- 7 3/4)"
Length: 12.5cm to 45cm (5-18")
