Regency Ashlar
Throughout Britain there are magnificent and historic public buildings which feature Ashlar walling in a variety of stones - ranging from the white Limestone of York to the Honey coloured walls of Bath and the reddish hued Sandstone which makes Chester so distinctive.
With Forticrete's Regency Ashlar you can recreate this tradition, whether you are building entirely in stone or adding an elegant architectural feature to a mainly brick structure.
The tabs below hold details of the standard Ashlar units and quoins available, however the Forticrete Cast Stone Dressings brochure contains details of the full range of products that are also available to co-ordinate with the standard Ashlar units or alternatively click here to see the Cast Stone Dressings online.
For sales enquiries please contact our Thornley office.
Forticrete Regency Ashlar is manufactured from high grade limestone and sandstone aggregates that have been chosen for their known performance and reliable quality. The cement, pigments and waterproofing agents all conform to their appropriate British or European Standard.
Forticrete Regency Ashlar is created from an homogeneous mix,
without using a 'backing' material that ensures no undue
stresses are built up within the unit. The major technical
performance characteristics of Regency Ashlar exceed the
requirements of BS 1217 and the United Kingdom Cast Stone
Association specification.
