We manufacture real "Cast Stone" made from crushed limestone and white cement, the closest product to real honed limestone possible. Beware of imitators, there are other manufacturers in the Los Angeles area who claim to make Cast Stone but just acid wash regular precast to imitate cast stone. 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.

Advantages of green GFRC for Green Building

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.

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.
