Natural Thin Veneer (NTV) is a lightweight alternative to Full Veneer and a higher-quality alternative to manufactured stone. NTV is a natural stone cut at a thickness ranging from three quarters of one inch to one and one-quarter inches as compared to Full Veneer which has a thickness of 3-5 inches. Some of the advantages of NTV include:

• It's easier for masons to handle and can be installed in about half the time as Full Veneer providing cost savings.
• More NTV can be shipped per truckload than Full Veneer.
• NTV is available in all the natural colors and blends of a Full Veneer.
• In many cases, it can be installed without a brick/stone ledge or foundation making it especially good to use for remodeling projects and zero clearance fireplaces.
• Each piece of NTV is unique and there is no risk of having a repeating pattern on installations. This can be an issue with manufactured stone.
• Unlike manufactured stone, NTV can be custom cut and trimmed to meet your specifications, plus corner pieces can be cut to your specifications if you need them in angles other than 90 degrees.
• NTV can be easily matched to Sturgis Material's landscaping stone products.
• Every project has a budget. If you want the look of a Full Veneer and the pride in knowing that you have chosen a natural stone without the associated costs, NTV is the perfect choice.

90 degree cut corners make NTV indistinguishable from its full-thickness counterpart.
