Unified Steel is also a finalist for the 2025 Best of IBS Awards in the "Most Innovative Building Material Product" category.
Stone
NEW! Eldorado Stone Colors - The new Ranchers Ridge and Nordic Peak colorways bring versatile, natural tones to three stone profiles. Evoking the untamed landscape of America’s western frontier, Ranchers Ridge balances a sun-warmed cream base with stately accents of sand, rust and grey, available in RoughCut and Fieldledge. The Nordic Peak color was inspired by the dazzling, windswept heights of Scandinavia, with its bright neutral tone blending chalky white tones and subtle variations of light grey for the distinctive Cliffstone profile.
NEW! Dutch Quality Stone Handformed Brick - The brand’s first brick profile presents an elevated tumbled brick design and configuration, with each piece molded for exquisite variation and robust dimension. Available in three colorways including the newest addition, Snowpack, a bright white hue inspired by the crisp, clean essence of freshly fallen snow.
NEW! StoneCraft™ Colors - Three new colorways—Silver Summit, Mineral Ridge and Steel Valley —are a range of neutrals spanning from a bright ivory-gray hybrid to a dark, smokey carbon with rust accents. The colors were designed for StoneCraft’s classic stone veneer products including Ledgestone, a linear, dry-stack profile with rugged texture; Fieldstone, a bold, irregular stone shape inspired by rustic European building techniques; and Laurel Cavern Ledge, made with stones handpicked from the rocky ravines and cliffs of North Carolina.
Cultured Stone and Eldorado Stone Trending Textures - Curations of premium stone and brick veneer that define top design trends, including variations of Ledgestone, Limestone, Hewn Stone and Cliffstone. With earthy color palettes, organic shapes and timeless character, these “textures of the year” celebrate the growing movement toward natural materials and indoor-outdoor harmony.
