Faux masonry, faux stone, and faux brick. Sometimes the word faux (pronounced f\u014d<\/span>) suggests “fake,” which suggests cheap in quality. We would like to clear up this misunderstanding on sign monument projects.<\/p>\n

There are companies that sell faux masonry in digital reproduction. They basically scan a picture of brick or rock, then print it digitally on an adhesive backed vinyl, and apply it to a smooth, flat surface. This product is basically a sticker.<\/p>\n

Our faux masonry products are actually hand-carved, three dimensional reliefs that we apply to our stucco monument signs. The masonry patterns are fabricated before the hard-coating process, so the pattern becomes an integrated part of the sign.<\/p>\n

Most commercial stone applications are actually a synthetic concrete veneer, where each stone (or brick) is made in a mold of various sizes and shapes, then applied to a concrete wall at the job site. There is an issue with this down the road. The individual pieces may fall off in time. Here is an example of today’s commercial-grade stone solution:<\/p>\n
