What is Cast Stone?
[Standard Product Catalogue]
Cast Stone is refined architectural concrete manufactured to simulate natural cut stone. Cast Stone is a masonry product, primarily used as a decorative architectural feature, trim or other ornamentation for commercial and residential structures.
Typical examples are base, banding, sills, coping, and door and window surrounds. Cast Stone is made from a mixture of Portland cement, natural sand, crushed limestone, chemical admixtures and coloring pigment (if needed). It is an excellent replacement for limestone, brownstone, granite and other natural building stone because of its ability to surpass natural stone in strength, durability and cost.
