The beauty of stone justifies the increased expense for many, especially considering the other benefits of stone, including durability, ease of maintenance, fire resistance, and (when it comes to natural stone) weather resistance, and improved resale value, according to Eco Outdoor. Manufactured stone has some advantages that reduce its installation costs. First and foremost, it's lighter — less than half as heavy (via Precision Contracting Services). This makes it more flexible as a building material in general, which means it can be used in more ways (or far more easily) than natural stone. It's also much less expensive, further extending its usefulness (via National Association of Realtors). Plus, manufactured stone is virtually indistinguishable from natural stone to the untrained eye ... and even to the trained eye, from a little distance.

There might be another somewhat less concrete reason we are drawn to stone. Jason F. McLennan, CEO of the International Living Future Institute, calls it "biophilia," and says that we are attracted to "elemental" materials in their simplest forms because we know they last. There is a part of us that understands that these are the building blocks of nature. This is how we build. This is how we have always built," he told BuildingGreen.

Researchers found that natural stone had a benchmark service life of 40 years (evaluated for general physical deterioration and color changes) or 64 years (evaluated for localized degradation). Manufacturers' warranties range from 20 to 75 years (via Be.On Stone). Research and warranties are probably the best places to get durability information about stone cladding, as the industry is full of hyperbolic language about the longevity and invincibility of natural stone.

Of course, the durability of natural stone is related to its density, which also affects how easy the material is to handle, cut, and install. This not only leads to high installation costs, but without careful execution, the weight can lead to degradation and even, on rare occasions, panel failure — the opposite of durability.
