Since 1976 we have been applying advanced cement composite technologies to the fabrication of watertight architectural shapes (fountains, planters, etc.) where the cost / benefit exceeds that of conventional materials. We pioneered the use of GFRC cast stone for site amenities.
| Service: We serve a nationwide client base and can support your project more rapidly and
accurately by putting you in direct contact with our
in-house experts rather than relying
on field representatives. Please take advantage of our toll-free number to pursue the
issues or problems that are important to you. The cost of shipping STONEWEAR products is very reasonable as a result of our unique lightweight stone fabrication technology. Tell us your ideas. We like to understand your project and the design objectives. It helps us to he aware of your "big picture". |

| Technology: STONEWEAR composite stone is a proprietary
compound of graded stone and cement reinforced with long-strand Alkaline Resistant glass
fiber. The result is a composite that combines the strength and lightweight
characteristics of conventional fiberglass with the durability and longevity of cast
stone. Cement, plaster and plastic (fiberglass) are the primary material choices for the fabrication of three-dimensional architectural shapes. The chart gives an overview of the material characteristics associated with the primary parameters for use in architectural applications.

Cement-based materials can be reinforced with glass fibers to dramatically increase product strength (20X) while reducing product weight (10X) because of the consequent thinner, stronger wall sections. To claim a product is "glass reinforced" is meaningless without also specifying type, content, form and length of the glass fibers. It's a tricky craft...
