Precast Stone vs. Natural Stone

When shopping for your grand construction projects in the making materials could make all the difference in the world! It goes back to durability & old nursery rhymes to remind us: Are we going to build our house out of straw, sticks or bricks?

Manufactured Stone aka Precast Stone is cheaper & easier to handle. It is penetrable & lightweight even though made from concrete. Precast can be stimulated to look like real stone. If the precast is not properly handled it can be very easily damaged during transportation and/or installation.

Natural Stone is one of a kind with a range of colors & designs which adds rare beauty. It is impossible to replicate & is the premier building material. Natural stone gives diversity, durability & a sense of value. The longevity of natural stone can be seen around the world in historical architecture still standing today like: The Colosseum in Rome. The key factor is it is HEAVY!! This must be taken in consideration throughout your planning & designing.

When choosing your stone, the decision will be mostly influenced by price & style. Whichever type you choose it is crucial that both reflect both beauty & stability in your investment.
