Toronto, Ontario (MMD Newswire) June 22, 2009 -- Stone Selex Inc., one of Canada's pre-eminent distributors of manufactured stone veneer, is pleased to announce the opening of its new location in Mississauga, Ontario. At 7,000 sq ft, the new location is more than 3 times the size of the company's old facility.
"The added space," says Jerry Lebiedzinski, President of Stone Selex, "allows us to host a more diverse line of artificial or faux stone veneers in more styles and colours than we could previously manage. We're particularly pleased to display designs highlighting stone fireplaces and stone facing facades."
Outdoor living spaces represent a hot new trend in home landscaping as homeowners seek to expand their living area without the expense of upgrading to a larger house. More than just a deck with a barbecue, outdoor kitchens include all the appliances and conveniences of their indoor counterparts, while providing the ambience of al fresco cooking and dining. Outdoor living rooms typically feature a fireplace or fire pit as the focal point of the space, and make the perfect venue for entertaining large gatherings of family and friends.
In both cases, artificial stone and brick veneer from Stone Selex makes for unique and attractive designs. The company's experienced designers and landscape architects work to create custom spaces tailored to their customer's environment and lifestyle.
"With more storage space at our new location," Mr. Lebiedzinski continues, "we're also able to keep a larger
stock on-site, meaning our customers will benefit from faster delivery."
The new facility, at 4444 Eastgate Parkway, Unit 4, in Mississauga, Ontario, is now open and stocked, ready to receive visitors.

Turn Your Backyard Into An Oasis With Affordable Exterior Stone Veneers
Imagine coming home after a hard day's work to unwind in your own personal outdoor sanctuary. Imagine dining al fresco, enjoying a delicious meal prepared on the grill of your outdoor kitchen. Then imagine spending the evening under the stars as you relax by the fireplace in your outdoor living room.
Outdoor living spaces like this are ideal venues for entertaining, allowing you to expand the functional area of your home beyond the confines of its walls. Manufactured stone veneer from StoneSelex makes it easy to create such an outdoor oasis, the harmonious blending of interior design with exterior landscaping.
Stone Veneer Kitchen Types
The first element to consider is the kitchen. Stone Selex has developed two options to help you design an outdoor kitchen to suit both your environment and your budget.
Modular Kitchen Islands
This is a semi-custom option in which you choose the units you desire, then Stone Selex works with you to select the manufactured stone matching your environment. Accent finishes can include stucco, granite, and more. Our professional stone installation will last a lifetime.
Custom Kitchen Islands
This completely custom option gives you a unique design unlike anything you'll find on the market. For example, you may choose a detailed stone veneer fireplace, perhaps a pizza oven, a bar, food preparation and cooking areas, and a seating area. Our experienced landscape architect will match the finish to your existing pool or pavilion, precisely reflecting your lifestyle and personality.
Outdoor Kitchen Shapes
Your outdoor kitchen island can be a simple rectangular unit, or it can have multiple angles of varying degrees. Popular shapes are Vs and Ls. It all depends on the appliances and amenities you wish to accommodate. Consider a design that provides an area for stools arranged so you can face and converse with your guests as you cook.
Outdoor Living Rooms
An outdoor living space can consist of just a kitchen, but why not create a complete and harmonious environment that encompasses an area to sit and relax as well? Think about including a traditional fire pit, clad in rustic stone veneer. Wood-burning or fuelled by propane or natural gas, it would make an ideal centrepiece for your backyard.
For a more contemporary look, you may choose a fireplace, either incorporated into your kitchen design - two sided -- or free-standing. You can select a readymade unit which Stone Selex will clad with the artificial stone veneer of your choice, or have Stone Selex custom design and build a unique piece to match the overall look of your yard.
While a fireplace or fire-pit provides ambient light and warmth, it won't protect you from the elements. For that you'll need a shelter such as an awning or a pergola. This can be sized to cover just the kitchen area, or the entire living space. The pillars for the shelter can be clad in the same stone veneer you've chosen for your fireplace and kitchen, blending in with your overall landscape design.
A Lifestyle Investment
Your outdoor living space can be both a retreat from the world and a reflection of your lifestyle. But it's also a wise and practical investment. Studies have proven that well designed and constructed backyard kitchens and living rooms retain as much as 81% of their value, contributing to the resale price of your home.
Stone Selex is ideally suited to help you realize that investment. Our professional staff draws on years of experience in the design and construction industry, and takes pride in offering you thoughtful, personalized service.
With our new and expanded location Stone Selex is even better equipped to help you design the perfect outdoor living space. In our generous showroom you'll find a wide range of colours and styles of manufactured stone and brick veneer perfect for both indoor and outdoor installations including elevations, fireplace and chimney stone, fences, wall facings, and pillars.
