Frequently Asked Questions

What special laying requirements are there when using Cast Stone decorative units?

Cast Stone is concrete and therefore will shrink when drying. When using Cast Stone Heads and Cills as decorative features in brickwork it is imperative to incorporate slip planes at any interface with the brickwork. This is because brickwork expands and it will pull the Cast Stone apart if not kept separate. For further advice please contact the Technical Department on 0800 262136.
