Fossil Creek Stone is a quartzitic sandstone formed over 300 million years ago in the deserts of Eastern New Mexico. Formed by water deposits with a higher compressive strength (16,400 psi) and a lower absorption rate (2%), Fossil Creek Stone can be utilized in any climate and last for generations. It is a color consistent material, with its neutral beige to earth tone buff coloring. Beautiful natural cleft texture give flagstone a wonderfully appealing charm, combined with the strength and durability of natural stone.
Leather finish is combination of “storm” and brushed finishes.
“Storm” (water-jet or hydro-blast) finish on natural stone is a finishing technique that uses high-pressure water to erode the surface , creating a textured, matte, and non-slip finish. This method cleans and opens the stone’s pores while preserving its original color. Unlike flamed finishes, water jetting does not heat the stone, meaning it keeps the stone’s natural color intact. Brushed Finish is a textured surface created by brushing the stone with a wire brush to create a textured look, while providing a matte appearance.
Fossil Creek Leather Finish Cladding are installed onto the building face using either a concealed system or an exposed clip system. Fossil Creek Large Format Cladding allow large areas to be covered with a single piece, eliminating joints and creating a uniform and continuous appearance. This style is characterized by its elegance and simplicity, which can be combined with other elements such as glass or steel.
