Procter Cast Stone: the Perfect Material for Self-build Projects
Of all its many applications, cast stone is arguably especially well suited to self-build projects, be they renovation, extension or new build – and for both traditional and contemporary style. Cast stone’s strong suitability for self-build is largely because:
- Architectural features can be designed and manufactured much more cost-effectively than cut stone, but the visual effect is just as good
- For renovations and extensions, cast stone features can be manufactured to match existing stone features – and again more cost-effectively
- Although cast stone is often associated more with traditional designs, it is equally appropriate for adding striking details to contemporary properties
At Procter Cast Stone we offer a free guide for using cast stone for self build projects. ‘The Self-Builder’s Guide to Cast Stone ‘ explains what this exceptionally versatile construction material can be used for, how it is manufactured and how easy it is to work with – both in terms of design and installation. Illustrated with a wealth of colour photographs, the guide benefits from a table of applicable British Standards and Eurocodes, as well as listing sources of further information.
