Concrete: Cast Stone

Reviewed by:

Molds used to create this cast stone replicate the unique facing the texture of natural stone. This faux stone product is made with lightweight concrete (about seven pounds per square foot), or about the same weight as traditional stucco materials.

Polyurethane caulk is used in place of mortar, so joints can flex and move up to 50% without cracking. The five standard earthy colors (wheat, desert sand, gray, charcoal and hopsack) are achieved using iron oxides but custom colors are also offered.

Castia stone can be used indoors or out.
