Birch White – Thin Veneer

Birch White Limestone Veneer (also known as Cottonwood) is a classic Kansas limestone used for generations across historic regional architecture. Featuring a naturally rough split face, this medium-density limestone showcases a soft blend of white, cream, and wheat tones accented by subtle gray veins and occasional warm rust highlights. Its light, rustic palette brings timeless elegance to both traditional masonry and modern architectural designs.

Natural Beauty, Naturally Unique

Every piece of natural stone carries its own character. Color and texture will vary from one load to the next, just as they do in nature. Our samples and photos provide a strong representation, but exact matches to past panels or pictures cannot be guaranteed. Embracing these variations is part of what makes building with natural stone so special—bringing elegant beauty, individuality, and decades of durability to your project.

Recommendation: For larger projects, we highly recommend requesting samples from current inventory and reviewing them on-site before delivery.
