Renaissance Masonry Units by Arriscraft are manufactured to mirror natural stone formation, resulting in exceptionally tight dimensional tolerances, high strength, high density, low absorption and outstanding durability. A cement-free formulation means the long-term shrinkage normally associated with cement-based products is minimized. Renaissance is suitable for both exterior and interior masonry veneer and can withstand the most severe climates. The stone breathes and ages naturally, and lasting natural colors ensure that uneven fading and bleaching will not occur over time.
