Types and Uses

Cast Stone offers exceptional performance for adding enhancements and finishing touches to a home. The product which is now widely used by developers and contractors offers flawless and durable features to the exterior of the home.

The stone is designed to resemble and behave as natural stone does but comes at a fraction of the cost. It is made with aggregate and cementitious binder and can also include sand, crushed gravel and natural gravels and pigments to achieve various shades and colours.

Cast stone or reconstituted stone is not designed to be load bearing and is used for finishing and adornments to buildings, walls or landscaping. Cast stone offers architects and developers the opportunity to add features to a building which are cost effective but which have the look and feel of natural stone.

Building materials available in this versatile product include balustrading, window heads and window cills, columns, quoins, gate piers, fireplaces, door surrounds and porticos. Some companies will also make bespoke pieces which can be invaluable for restoration projects.

Cast stone is also the choice for garden ornaments such as bird baths as well as features like steps.
