Cast Stone Architectural Balustrade
If you love the look of carved limestone, cast stone balusters are an ideal choice. Instead of carving stone into the desired shape, we use genuine crushed limestone and white concrete to achieve the exact form and texture requested by the client. The result is a flawless balustrade system that is virtually indistinguishable from carved stone and much less expensive.
Cast stone balustrade is very low maintenance and very attractive. Our unique material is not only stronger than cut stone, but also weathers better than many types of natural cut stone. Because we replicate the natural stone formation process, we can achieve any color or texture combination you desire.
Used in both new construction and restoration projects, cast stone balustrade is set using either mortar or adhesive to ensure the final product will be sturdy and safe. First, the cast stone base rail is set in a bed of mortar. The balusters are doweled and set with mortar, and then the cap rail is mortared into place. Cast stone balustrade is quite heavy, weighing anywhere from 85 to 140 pounds per linear foot. Therefore, cast stone balustrade may be unsuitable for very large projects.
