I removed the advert template. The article has three paragraphs: Nevertheless, I add disadvantages to make it more balanced. --FocalPoint (talk) 07:40, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
 * What is stone veneer and various names for it (hardly advertising)
 * How it is made (no advertising here either)
 * Advantages over natural stone. Well, there must advantages or else people would never buy it. Presenting the advantages is encyclopedic information.


 * That is helpful, thank you. Unfortunately, right now everything here is original research. Citations of reliable sources are needed for all of these claims. -- Shadowlynk (Talk) 08:51, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

The section on the history of stone veneer touches on the ancient forms of stone veneer in use in the Roman Empire, but I think it may be understating the usage of this type of building technology right through from ancient times until present. The precedent for building concrete structures and covering them with relatively thin sheets of stone, to give the appearance of monumental scale to a building, is well established in ancient cultures throughout the world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.168.212.171 (talk) 08:16, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

Natural stone is for all practical purposes lighter than stone veneer. All commercially available stone ranges in weight from 26 to 30 Kg/m2 per cm of thickness (marble and travertine being the lightest, granite and quartzite the heaviest). The commonly used thickness is 2cm (3/4"), but thinner material is also available.
