Valders® Dovewhite Dimensional Stone

Dovewhite limestone offers a sophisticated, generally white color palette accented by subtle light buff and light gray variations. It is a highly sought-after material for modern and traditional estates alike. Choose from several distinctive surface textures to complement your brickwork, trim, and landscape:

Dovewhite Dimensional Splitface: A machine-split face with sawn top and bottom beds and snapped ends, delivering a natural, rugged texture with clean, defined masonry courses.
Dovewhite Dimensional Rockfaced: A splitface stone pitched by hand or machine to create a bold, pronounced, and highly textured face.
Dovewhite Dimensional Tumbled: Dimensional stone processed with softened, weathered edges for an elegant, aged, and rustic appearance.

Rich Color Palettes: Buff, Blush, Gray & River Bluff

The Valders architectural stone line extends far beyond classic white. We supply a diverse range of natural color blends to match any exterior elevation:

Buff & Dark Buff: Warm buff-to-tan and deep caramel tones for an inviting, earthy aesthetic.
Blush: A striking white-to-light-buff stone featuring distinct maroon and burgundy veining.
Gray: Crisp light gray tones with natural buff variations, perfect for contemporary masonry.
River Bluff: A highly unique blend featuring distinctive natural inclusions, available in splitfaced or rockfaced finishes for full-bed installations.

Full & Thin Stone Veneer Options

To accommodate different structural requirements and wall depths, many Valders building stone products are available in both full bed veneer and thin stone veneer. Whether you are applying thin stone over a modern waterproofing system or building a traditional full masonry cavity wall, our team can help you verify the exact manufacturer specifications, random lengths, and course heights required for your assembly.

Custom Architectural Details, Pavers & Coping

Valders limestone goes beyond wall veneer. Create a cohesive exterior design with matching hardscape and cut-stone products. We supply Valders porcelain-grade pavers, flagstone, custom steps, pool coping, wall caps, treads, and pillar kits. Depending on your patio or walkway application, surface finishes can be customized to include honed, sandblasted, flamed, bush-hammered, or tumbled textures for optimal slip resistance and visual appeal.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between splitface and rockfaced Valders stone?

Splitface stone is machine-split, providing a natural, rugged texture with a relatively even face. Rockfaced stone goes a step further—it is pitched or worked (by hand or machine) after being split to create a much bolder, more pronounced, and highly textured surface.

Can Valders natural stone be used for a patio or walkway?

Yes. However, it is important not to use wall veneer for flatwork. Valders manufactures specific architectural paving and flagstone products. When planning a patio, be sure to select a product, thickness, and surface finish (such as flamed or bush-hammered) specifically intended for pedestrian paving to ensure durability and slip resistance.

Are all Valders stone products kept in stock at your Northbrook showroom?

Because natural stone availability, specific finishes, and custom architectural cuts vary by project, inventory fluctuates. Please contact General Masonry Supply Venture directly to confirm current stock, explore available finishes, and check ordering lead times for the exact materials your project requires.
