Hard as Rocks

Welcome to Hard as Rocks

Hard as Rocks Ltd is proud to be New Zealand’s exclusive supplier of Eldorado Stone the most realistic architectural stone available on the market today.

Whether it be a Rustic Chimney, a contemporary feature wall, a grand English manor or even the entry pillars of your gateway, Hard as Rocks can provide a product to give you the look and feel of real stone without the weight and cost associated with the real thing.

Most Kiwis love the traditional look of Sth Island Schist, and River Rock from our local rivers. Hard as Rocks is New Zealand’s leading supplier of the man made versions of these profiles, but can also offer the unique look of other stone choices from around the world.

As each stone is an individual piece, not a panel system, (except Stacked stone) you can mix some stone profiles and colours and even change the mortar colours to give you a truly unique look.
Eldorado Stone® is manufactured from Portland Cement, high quality permanent iron oxide pigments and lightweight aggregates.
Hard as Rocks has a BRANZ appraised Installation system over timber framing using 20mm cavity battens and BGC Fibre cement board. This is a very simple way for architects and home owners to get the look of stone without the associated costs, as no footings or steel lintels are required. Eldorado stone can also be applied over concrete blocks or some brick installations and even some existing claddings for a renovation or feature wall addition.
