Uses of Dry Tamped Cast Stone

Cast Stone is generally used as a masonry product in all of the traditional applications where cut, carved, sculpted or ashlar stone would be used. Base, watertables, bands, sills, lintels, balusters, rails, columns and quoins are typical uses. It can match virtually any natural stone by coloring the cement matrix with iron oxides and using manufactured sands made from the stone that is to be matched.
Textures that are carved into real stone are incorporated into Cast Stone by forming the negative of the texture into the mold. After Cast Stone pieces have cured they can be etched with acid or lightly sandblasted to add an aged look.
