About Ventura Cast Stone
Cast stone
We at Ventura cast stone are pleased to introduce this lightweight cast
stone or lightweight precast concrete if you will, into our line of precast
concrete and cast stone. Because lightweight cast stone is made from
fiberglass strand mixed with real limestone which gives it that stone look,
it is suitable for fireplace mantle treatments.
Lightweight precast
concrete
Lightweight precast concrete is usually called GFRC or glass fiber
reinforced concrete, and is manufactured by Ventura cast stone
and installed in the Los Angeles, Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties.
Precast concrete usually weights 100 lbs per cubic foot. Gfrc usually
weights 10 lbs per lin foot. Precast concrete is a lower end product
and does not simulate limestone as does cast stone. Precast concrete
resembles finished concrete and the surface looks like your garage floor.
Cast stone resembles limestone or sandstone. Lightweight GFRC precast
concrete is not a new product but has been used for years, but not in
architectural uses.
Precast concrete
Precast concrete is usually used in lower end track homes where budget is a
concern, cast stone is usually used in higher end homes where budget is not
a major concern. The difference between cast stone and precast concrete is
easily seen, and even the novice can appreciate the high quality limestone
like finish on a cast stone product. Fireplace mantels or as some call them
fireplace mantles look beautiful when constructed from cast stone. Cast
stone fireplace mantels are used in any situation. The fireplace
mantels are both strong and fireproof. Fireplace mantels are a thing of
beauty when made from cast stone or precast concrete. Fireplace mantels are
also made from wood. Fireplace mantels or fireplace chimneys are the main
feature in any room and a fireplace mantel made from cast stone or precast
concrete is a sight to behold.

Ventura Cast Stone

Ventura or Santa Barbara has to be mechanically fastened to the wood frame
of a building usually with stainless steel or galvanized attachments, this
because of earthquake codes. There are many historical buildings in
California with cast stone as part of their facade. Cast stone in Los
Angeles, Beverly hills, Bel Air, Ventura and Santa Barbara was at it's most
popular in the 1900's. In Santa Barbara, cast stone was used
extensively in the downtown district and also in a primitive form at the
Santa Barbara mission in the form of adobe, a mixture of mud and straw or
horsehair mixed with water and hand shaped into molds. Cast stone in
the City of Ventura was used mainly on churches in the downtown area.
Cast stone in Los Angeles was used in many important buildings including the
famous Los Angeles City hall. In Santa Barbara cast stone and Santa
Barbara stone were used in conjunction in many historical buildings.
Santa Barbara stone also called Santa Barbara sandstone, is found mainly in
