Building Stone Is Made Almost Entirely from Reclaimed Material

Arriscraft introduces Matterhorn—a unique-looking Building Stone manufactured almost entirely from reclaimed material.

Arriscraft, manufacturer of naturally-made products that emulate quarried stone, introduces Matterhorn—a unique-looking Building Stone manufactured almost entirely from reclaimed material.

Arriscraft is the stone products group of General Shale, the North American subsidiary of Wienerberger AG and a manufacturer of brick, one of the world’s oldest green building materials.

Arriscraft’s Matterhorn Building Stone is made with 99 percent reclaimed material from existing manufacturing processes. While it doesn’t contribute to LEED certification as ‘recycled’ (from an outside source), this new product introduction reflects the company’s ongoing effort to reduce waste, energy usage and the impact of manufacturing. The recycling process creates a darker base material than normal and through additional pigmentation, Matterhorn is available in two colors: Blueridge and Saddle. Plus, the combination of Guillotined and Tumbled finishes produces a rustic charm.

Arriscraft’s Natural Process technology uses only natural materials (plus color pigments) and replicates how stone is created in the earth. This patented process creates Building Stone with the natural aesthetics and durability of quarried stone, plus the convenience of standard installation and unlimited supply.
