High
Quality Cast Stone Products Manufactured to British Standards.
Manufactured strictly
in accordance with BS 1217 (1997).
The use of cast stone
has greatly expanded over recent years primarily due to its ability to produce
a product both aesthetically pleasing and if correctly manufactured, offering
a maintenance free life span outlasting some natural stone.
The manufacture of CAST
STONE which FAILS to comply with BS1217 (1997) is a gamble and can result
in a finished product which over a short period time may result in total failure.
A simple water absorbtion
test may provide an indication of a products manufacturing characteristics
. The process involves the application of a teaspoon of water to the surface
of a sample of the cast stone. If the water is absorbed into the stone within
30 minuets then the sample can be assumed to fail a BS1217 (1997) water absorbtion
test. Cast stone failing this simple test will likely present problems with
discolouration, efflorescence surface crazing leading to ultimate corrosion
and potential total failure.
Manufactured to tried
and tested methods which over time have proved to be both durable and free
from inherent maintenance issues. The company operates to BS1217 (1997) standards
further ensuring quality products are produced.
