Sean Howard, CEO and inventor of Weathered Stone, began researching methods to create a retrofitting bendable stone in 1995. With experience in construction methods, commercial decorative painting, and coatings manufacturing Howard achieved his goal in 2004 and at that time applied for patents for the manufacturing and methods thereof for Weathered Stone®

In March of 2008 the U.S Patent examiners office reviewed these patents and found that the concept of bendable stone have never been patented and required Howard to separate one of the original patents into two separate patents, one for the methods of manufacturing and the Second for the claims of being a bendable stone. This second patent was an amazing development for Weathered Stone®. Once approved it will allow for Weathered Stone to have a composition of virtually any raw material yet still have protection as “Bendable Stone” as allowed by International Patent Law.

“Weathered Stone® exhibits many advantages over natural stone or had applied replicas”, comments Howard, “Not only is it easier to install but it is also much more affordable.” Other benefits of Weathered Stone® are easy of repair, it is extremely lightweight making it more affordable to ship, it uses naturally renewable resources for production making it a “Green” choice product, but the greatest aspect of Weathered Stone® is that once installed it looks and feels like real stone.

Weathered Stone has been featured in multiple news publications as well as many showcase and parade homes throughout the United States. www.weathered-stone.com
