We manufacture real "Cast Stone" made from crushed limestone and white cement, the closest product to real honed limestone possible. Although our GFRC is a beautiful product, and comes in 10 colors and 5 textures, there is no comparison when compared to Cast Stone which has a warm limestone limestone look and comes in 10 colors and 2 textures. We are the only California company offering real cast stone and we are proud of it, it is our flagship product. Cast stone has a smooth sand like texture and is perfect for pool coping as it is non slip and is cooler to the touch than GFRC.

Utilizing state of the art techniques and materials, combined with old world craftsmanship our cast stone columns, lightweight  columns, GFRC columns, pool coping, historic restoration parts and other  products are not massed produced without any character in a factory, as most other companies manufacture them. Our product is hand cast in our own original textures and designs based on the classical formal cast stone profiles of Tuscany and Southern France, the informal  concrete stone profiles of the Mediterranean We offer a design service and can design your project from scratch or from your plans. Our variety of textures and colors is unsurpassed by anyone, hand-finished, with a choice of 7 incredible textures, some unseen before and 20 standard colors.
On the color and texture pages there are examples of each, as well as a general written description.

Advantages of green GFRC for Green Building

bulletLow toxicity raw materials: Cement, sand, glass fibers natural coloring pigments and water  ( We can also use waterproofing additives)
bulletDurable, stain resistant, long lasting materials reduce replacement, maintenance and repair 
bulletOur green GFRC is supplied integrally colored with standard textures to eliminate VOC's during painting  (Our products come in 10 standard integral colors)
bulletNon-combustible GFRC meets ASTM E136
bulletLightweight foam coated  products use 80% less material than 

We can also use recycled aggregates such as recycled concrete, recycled water, and fly ash.
To achieve our sanded finish, we use natural sand and water which is used like sandpaper to remove the smooth cement surface and expose the aggregates, we also re-use the by-product of
this procedure (i.e. cement, sand water).
We like green GFRC because it produces a very lightweight and durable material that is easy to install. The end product is very strong and may be installed as thin as 3/4" which is practically impossible to do with any other concrete or cementitious material.

Green GFRC technology is considered environmentally friendly and very appealing when considering green building alternatives. Green does not only mean environmentally friendly but also sustainability, the more a product will last the more sustainable it is, also counting toward greenness are amount of waste generated during the process, how much of the ingredients are recycled material such as fly ash and how much maintenance will it need during the life of the product.

In addition to being strong and lightweight, green GFRC also offer a greater variety of option and finishing styles, another great advantage is that the materials very strong and not brittle like concrete which allows us to install anywhere without much risk.
