NATURAL THIN STONE VENEER

1

THE STARTING POINT

:: Introducing Thin Stone Veneer by Kafka

Throughout the years, Kafka Granite has made its

name by developing a niche within the aggregate

industry. As one of the most diversified crushed stone

suppliers in the country, what’s next? With over 60

different colors of crushed stone products, we are

excited to begin introducing the same classic Kafka

Granite colors you know and love in a diverse line

of high-end masonry stone product.

Derived from our various quarries throughout North

America, and made with same care and attention to

detail as other Kafka products, this new line of thin stone

veneer will be comprised of stunning natural stone that

can be used for nearly any application, spanning from

building facades to interior features.

While this range of granite, marble, and quartz building

stone has never been seen before, our thin stone veneer

offers classic colors that feel familiar and are easily

embraced by architects, masons, and property owners.

With a large network of quarries, you can expect

several other colors to launch in 2019.
