Stone Age Designs Marble Based Formula for Scagliola Stone to Replace Hand-Carved Cantera Stone, Granite, Limestone, and Travertine for Stone Fireplace Mantels, Stone Kitchen Hoods, and Stove Hoods.

Atlanta, GA January 4, 2005 — The new Scagliola, or Scagliola Stone from Stone Age Designs has the appearance of travertine or limestone, and is the genius of Thierry Francois. Thierry re-discovered and enhanced his hand-made, secret formula from the 17th Century Italian "Scaglia' in a new blend of crushed Marble, Limestone, and Travertine.

Stone Age Designs' Scagliola is rapidly replacing hand cut quarry stones like Limestone, and Travertine and becoming the market leader in term of quality for Stone Fireplace Mantels and Surrounds, Stone Kitchen Hoods, Stone Stove Hoods, Stone Accents, Arches, Columns, Pedestals, and Statues. Architects, both Commercial and Residential, are even moving to

Stone Age Designs' Scagliola for Stone Fountains, Moldings, even Spiral Staircases, Walls, and Waterfalls. Custom Home Builders are using Custom Stone Designs by Stone Age Designs as their secret weapon to win more business and reduce project completion time.

"There are a number of reasons for the interest in Stone Age Designs,' says Thierry, "and most important is this is Scagliola. It is a one of a kind blend of custom stone that is easy to use, easy to install, and custom designs can easily be developed from CAD Drawings - The details are molded from the mixture. The design possibilities are unlimited.'

This means Stone Age Designs' Scagliola stone is not nearly as costly, and just as beautiful as hand carved quarry stone. Custom Scagliola stone by Stone Age Designs reduces the need for custom carved stone that may be uneven due to carving, has a more limited color and consistency; is labor intensive, and often delays delivery to contractors. Quarry stones are often broken or cracked when delivered, requiring repairs using glue.

There are two other major design differences in Stone Age Designs' Scagliola. If needed, it can be hand-carved for those very special projects ‘providing a sense of old-world elegance' and it is layered, which gives it the look of authentic custom stone.

Another major difference that separate Stone Age Design's Scagliola from the rest of the market, is "our secret mixture; the way we blend our Marble and six other stones into our one of a kind Scagliola,' says Thierry, and "It is no Fairy Tale.'
