Procter's cast stone guide for self-builders

Procter Caststone is publishing a free guide to cast stone to meet the needs of people embarking on self-build projects.

'The Self-Builder's Guide to Cast Stone' explains what this versatile construction material can be used for, how it is manufactured and how easy it is to work with in terms of design and installation.

Cast stone is a versatile construction material that is suitable for all types of self-build project including renovations, refurbishments, conversions, extensions and new-builds.

While it is often used to replicate natural stone features on period properties, cast stone is equally appropriate for adding striking details to contemporary designs.

Cast stone complements brick-faced, rendered block-built and rendered timber-framed properties.

Benefiting from reliable deliveries and being easy to design with and install, cast stone achieves maximum impact for minimum effort and cost.

A variety of standard colours are available to mimic natural stone types, or custom colours can be manufactured to order.

Illustrated with colour photographs, the guide benefits from a table of applicable British Standards and Eurocodes, as well as listing sources of further information.

'The Self-Builder's Guide to Cast Stone' is available to download directly or contact Procter Caststone to request a copy.
