Thin Armourstone ADVANTAGES & USES OF THIN ARMOURSTONE Thin Armourstone falls within a thickness range of 8 to 12 and therefore offers many practical and aesthetic benefits. In general, as the thickness of Armourstone decreases, so does its depth. An 18 thick stone is generally 2.5 to 3 deep whereas our 8 to 10 thick Armourstone is approimately 2 to 2.25 deep. This translates into reduced tonnage needed for a given face footage requirement. larger material would not fit, and a more natural, aesthetic appearance in the finished project. As designs grow more comple and award winning designers and architects demand more from their products, the shift seems to be towards thinner and more versatile Armourstone products. Upper Canada Stone offers Thin Armourstone in both the Chocolate and Mocha colour range, in sizes of 8 to 10 and 10 to 12 thick material. Other advantages of Thin Armourstone include the ability to use smaller equipment, the opportunity to use natural stone instead of concrete products where Private Residence thick Mocha Thin Armourstone Fresh Landscape thick Mocha Thin Armourstone 8 9

6 SAWNBACK ARMOURSTONE & HANDSTACK Prebbel Enterprises Inc thick Mocha SawnBack Armourstone & Random Steps Beamish Landscape Service Chocolate Handstack A s more and more people see natural stone as a viable option for landscaping not only estate residences, but also more modest, subdivision style-homes, the need for smaller, more uniform and easy to handle stone products has surfaced. Our Chocolate and Mocha Handstacked first addressed this problem with a cubical and stackable product that was palletized for ease of delivery and movement around the jobsite. For the first time, it was possible to build natural stone walls without epensive, large pieces of equipment because the Handstack pieces were easily manipulated. Do you have a small wall to build? Or perhaps you want to create a bordered pathway or a landscape focal point with natural stone accent pieces? Chocolate or Mocha Handstacked may be the perfect complement to your design. In 2011, we took the structural and aesthetic benefits of our Thin Armourstone and went one step further: SawnBack Armourstone. With narrow bed depths of only 12-18, each piece is individually crafted with our saw or guillotine to be beautifully stackable and rectangular. The result is a solution for those projects with tight space constraints. There is also a very compelling economic benefit: In comparison to our Thin Armourstone with an average depth of 24-28, SawnBack Armourstone can reduce your stone requirement by as much as 45%* which equates to big savings in trucking and installation time. *based on average product depths: Thin Armourstone: 27, SawnBack Armourstone: 15 Solace Landscaping thick Mocha SawnBack Armourstone 10 11
