Owens Corning Cultured Stone® products originated in 1962 when
brothers Garrett and Floyd Brown of Vallejo, California saw the need
for a new kind of building material. The entrepreneurial pair of
plasterers developed manufactured stone veneer: exact replicas of
natural stones used for building, cast in flexible molds and hand
colored with iron oxide pigments. Made of lightweight aggregate
materials, the veneers were approximately one-quarter the weight of
full-thickness stone and could be adhered to most wall surfaces.
