Roughbacks

High-Quality Indiana Limestone Roughbacks

Roughbacks are the outer “skins” produced during the block sawing process—featuring one smooth face and one naturally rough surface. These byproducts of slab production are ideal for use in structural backing, masonry cores, or any application where only one finished face is needed. They offer the same strength and weather resistance as premium Indiana Limestone at a more economical price.

Product Characteristics:

  • Face 1: Smooth sawn
  • Face 2: Rough quarry texture
  • Sizes: Vary by cut; available as-is from production
  • Material: Indiana Limestone

Why Choose Indiana Limestone Roughbacks?

Roughbacks are a smart, resource-efficient option for projects where only one visible face is required. Benefits include:

  • Cost savings without compromising on durability
  • Ideal for structural or non-visible support applications
  • Dual-surface utility with a finished face and a raw backing
  • Sustainable use of natural limestone byproducts

Applications

  • Wall backing or core stone
  • Veneer anchoring substrate
  • Non-visible masonry support
  • Utility or filler material in large builds

Customization Options

Roughbacks are typically sold as-is based on production output. For large-scale projects, custom sizing or batching may be available upon request.
