The Best Customizable Reconstituted Stone in Utah
The use of reconstituted stone in architecture and construction has been around for centuries, creating beautiful stone-like walls and facades that bring a taste of elegance to any home or building. With New Cast Stone’s technological advances producing a more lightweight and versatile material, it is easier than ever to create a personalized look customized to fit your next construction project.
Is it called Reconstituted Stone or Cast Stone?
The answer is both. Cast stone is another name for reconstituted stone. It is also called engineered stone, manufactured stone, or artificial stone by some in the industry.
A Brief History of Reconstituted Stone
The idea of using cement mixed with natural aggregates such as natural stone to form shapes and bricks dates back to the Roman Era. It then moved to England and the UK, where a brewer under King Henry VIII is said to have used it extensively, calling it simulated stone. It then crossed the Atlantic to the Americas, where it has been used in building facades, garden walls and pathways, and other architecture.
While the name and some ingredients have changed, and the shaping process has been slowly altered and perfected over the years, this reconstituted stone remains a popular choice for interior and exterior designs.
How does New Cast Stone Create Lightweight Reconstituted Stone Shapes?
While other companies use pre-existing molds, New Cast Stone utilizes molds cut out of EPS foam molds created for a given project. Not only does this create a sturdy and lightweight product, but the ability to customize the foam mold to your project offers almost endless possibilities without additional costs or time needed for project completion.
Endless Possible Styles and Popular Shapes
While virtually endless possibilities may seem exciting to some, they can be overwhelming to others. That is why New Cast Stone provides a Shapes Catalog to help you get started. You can choose from our most popular shapes, such as our panels, bases, window sills, and elegant trims or wall caps, or use them as inspiration for a shape that reflects your style and tastes.
