        "text": "Stone veneer is a decorative and protective facing material made from real or manufactured stone that replicates the look of natural stone. Unlike full natural stone, which is a structural material, veneer is a thin layer applied to a substrate. Manufactured stone veneer is typically made from Portland cement, aggregates, and iron oxides for coloring, making it lighter and more affordable than natural stone. Natural stone veneer, while still thinner than full stone, is cut from actual rock formations. Both offer aesthetic appeal but differ in weight, cost, and installation methods.",
