4. What materials do you use for your products?
- We use Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) or Glass Fiber Reinforced Gypsum (GFRG/GRG) as our main baseline materials to craft our exquisite products. GFRC and GRG are innovative construction materials that combine the strength of traditional concrete or gypsum with the lightweight and flexible properties of glass fibers.
- GFRC: GFRC is a composite material made of cement or plaster, sand, polymers, and alkali-resistant glass fibers. Its lightweight nature makes it ideal for architectural elements, reducing the structural load and simplifying installation. GFRC can be cast into intricate shapes and textures, allowing for limitless design possibilities. This material offers excellent weather resistance, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. GFRC is highly durable, with enhanced resistance to cracking and chipping, ensuring long-lasting architectural elements. It provides fire resistance, meeting safety standards and making it suitable for applications near fireplaces and hearths. The natural stone-like appearance of GFRC creates a luxurious finish without the weight and cost of traditional stone.
7. What is cast stone, and what are its advantages?
- Cast stone is a manufactured material designed to replicate the appearance of natural stone. Its advantages include aesthetic appeal, cost-effectiveness compared to natural stone, lightweight construction, durability, versatility, low maintenance, fire resistance, and eco-friendliness.
8. How should I care for my cast stone products?
- We understand that investing in our exquisite cast stone mantels, kitchen hoods, and architectural elements is a significant decision, and proper care is essential to maintain their pristine beauty and longevity. Regularly dust and clean your cast stone products with a soft cloth or mild detergent to avoid any abrasions. Protect them from impacts and harsh chemicals to preserve their surface integrity and prevent discoloration. Depending on the product and its location, applying recommended sealants may enhance their stain resistance. For fireplace mantels, avoid direct flames, and promptly clean spills to prevent any permanent marks. During harsh weather conditions, consider using furniture covers for outdoor elements. Regular inspections will allow you to address any wear and tear promptly, and professional restoration services are available to revitalize their appearance if needed. By following these simple care tips, you can ensure that your cast stone products remain stunning and resilient for generations to come.
