Services
Lueders Limestone Quarrying
Champion Stone Company extracts premium Lueders limestone from Texas deposits formed over millions of years. Our quarry operations yield 12 distinct color variations with superior density and freeze/thaw resistance. The material's natural durability makes it ideal for exterior applications in extreme climates while maintaining aesthetic versatility for both modern and traditional designs.
Thin Veneer Production
We fabricate thin veneer stone products at 1.25" thickness for reduced shipping costs and easier installation. Our thin veneer maintains authentic texture while offering 9-15 lbs per square foot weight efficiency. Custom sizing options and rough back/bed face variations allow seamless transitions in both interior and exterior architectural applications.
Pool Coping Fabrication
Our pool coping solutions utilize dense Lueders limestone with bullnose edges for safe, durable water feature construction. Available in 10"x2" and 12"x2.5" dimensions, these products combine slip-resistant surfaces with climate resilience. Custom thicknesses up to 4" ensure compatibility with various pool deck designs and commercial applications.
Architectural Panels
We create dimensional limestone panels for commercial and residential exteriors with precise 3" standard thickness. These panels accommodate arched or rounded designs through partner fabrication services while maintaining natural color consistency. Available in all ledges and finishes, they provide structural integrity with aesthetic customization.
Custom Dimensional Stone
Our advanced saw technology enables custom cutting of limestone blocks up to 5'x8' dimensions. Using Belt Saws, Jaguar, Tiger, and Cobra equipment, we achieve 0.75"-4" thickness tolerances for countertops, flooring, and specialty applications. This capability supports unique architectural requirements while preserving the stone's natural characteristics.
