Words: Sarah Lograsso

LAS VEGAS (February 27, 2024) — Westlake Royal Building ProductsTM (“Westlake Royal”), a Westlake company (NYSE:WLK) announces Oak Blendâ„¢, a captivating new colorway available across Dutch Quality Stone brand’s three distinct stone profiles: Limestone, Stack Ledge and Weather Ledge. This new colorway will be on display at this year’s International Builders Show (IBS) in Las Vegas from Feb. 27 to 29.



Oak Blend is a masterfully crafted hue that redefines the rustic side of the spectrum. With a crisp and nuanced neutral tone, Oak Blend delivers a fresh take on earthy browns, captivating the senses with a subtle interplay of cream and silvery undertones. This unique combination results in a visually dynamic color that exudes modern elegance while maintaining a timeless connection to the natural world.



"Dutch Quality has always been dedicated to staying at the forefront of design trends while providing customers with timeless options to enhance spaces with a natural and rustic feel," said Steve Booz, vice president of marketing and product management at Westlake Royal Building Products. "Oak Blend is an exciting addition for us to help specifiers deliver fresh and inspired solutions for their projects."


The Oak Blend colorway is available in three Dutch Quality Stone profiles including: 

  • Limestone: The clean, classic appeal of hand-chiseled limestone in molded shapes and regular sizes that are easily installed. The timeless look of Limestone is a favorite among designers and masons.
  • Stack Ledge: The irregular surface details and chiseled textures of Stack Ledge are installer-friendly thanks to their squared edges, allowing for a tighter fit.
  • Weather Ledge: Defined by long, linear pieces of varying heights and a distressed, aged surface, each stone is shaped to ensure tight dry stack installation and gives moderate shadow relief, even when grouted.
