Jerusalem, having a rare building code obliging all structures to be clad with local stone, is recognized for this type of finish, maintaining the special uniformity and character of this holly city. Splitface is a traditional ancient rough finish achieved by a special hand chiseling technique.

Cladding a building, a home, a feature wall, fireplace surrounding or even a kitchen would inevitably be eye catching in such a rough rustic finish, making it the focal point of a space filled with character.
