Easy DIY Installation with Fusion Stone

June 14, 2017

Stone has many amazing advantages – it is beautiful, sturdy, fire and water resistant, and lasts a lifetime. In fact, the only downsides of stone are that it is expensive and time consuming to install… or rather it was expensive and time consuming, until Fusion Stone.

Now, thanks to the technological innovations of Fusion Stone, stone is no longer prohibitively expensive. Even more amazing is that you don’t need to be a pro to install it. It is so easy to install that everyone from experienced contractors, to DIY enthusiasts are giving ordinary homes extraordinary stone makeovers.

The Rough Side of Traditional Stone

There is no denying that traditional stone looks great. It brings a sense of history, nature, permanence, and class to any space. Unfortunately, it tends to be labour intensive. Traditional stone has to be quarried and shipped – which can take a big toll on the environment.

Once the traditional stone is on site the real work begins. Remember, not just anyone can install stone. You need specialized tools and skills to cut, place, and finish stone. It takes a lot of time and a lot of money.

Fusion Stone boasts the same great look of traditional stone, without the high cost or environmental damage. Despite being all but indistinguishable from traditional stone, Fusion Stone is actually manufactured from a high-tech stone composite which uses the maximum amount of recyclable materials possible without compromising the stone’s strength or appearance. This means that Fusion Stone is more environmentally friendly and lighter than traditional stone. So, transporting and installing it is a serious weight off your shoulders – literally!
