 Cast stone fireplaces are almost identical to those made from cut limestone. Cast stone is so durable that artisans have used it for centuries on the exterior of buildings. Most stone which appears to be limestone on buildings constructed around the turn of the century is probably cast stone.We make our cast stone fireplaces from a mixture of finely graded aggregates, silica sand and a bonding agent. Unlike most of our competitors, our cast stone fireplaces and mantels use a hardening agent for cleaner edges. This mixture is hammered into molds. The result is a line of cast stone fireplaces so similar to limestone it is hard to tell the difference, and we are able to do intricate and varied designs for our fireplaces at a fraction of the cost of cut limestone. No finish is required. Cast stone is a noncombustible product and can be used directly next to firebox openings, eliminating the need and cost for other interior surrounds that wood and plaster mantels and fireplaces require.
