Dufferin Stone is an innovative new building material designed by Oldcastle APG, a European blue-chip company with corporate headquarters in Dublin, Ireland. Avalon will be the first residential development in the United States to offer this distinctive new product as a standard building material. Dufferin Stone is a masonry veneer installed with the same construction methods used to lay clay brick; however, the size and shape of the stones allow homeowners to specify random ashlar patterns that avoid the commercial look of traditional masonry.

In addition to the pattern flexibility, the stones are produced with natural textures and superior color-blends to create an old-world appearance that brings distinction to your home. These stones are tested to endure extreme conditions of heat, cold, de-icing salts and acid rain without fading, and will protect your home against the elements with the soundness of concrete. With Dufferin Stone as an option for all elevations, Avalon residents will enjoy the look and feel of natural stone with the durability and quality-control of today's manufacturing techniques. Durable and beautiful this stone veneer will add substantial value to your home that you will be able to enjoy for years to come.
