Sequoia is a beautiful natural dimensional ledgestone veneer. The stone is sawed on the top and bottom at specified heights to create the dimensional ledgestone. It is unique in that it is one of only a few sawed face products we have. In addition to the sawed heights, Sequoia is sawed on the front and back leaving the faces of the stone perfectly flat and smooth.  Sequoia is sought after for its wood grain-like appearance.  Sealing natural stone veneer is a matter of personal preference.  Medium to high shine sealers are not typical for most natural stone veneer products as they take away from the natural look of the stone, however, at least a medium gloss sealant is highly recommended on Sequoia as it accentuates the grains of the stone.
