( Cast Stone -
Plaster -
Sandstone )
Cast Stone
A mixture of cementations materials, fine aggregates and glass fibers.
Pieces are reinforced with galvanized metal lath. Pieces are cast by
hand and may be color tinted. They have the look of carved stone and
are approximately 20% lighter in weight than regular cement. In
addition to its aesthetic qualities, cast stone also provides superb
strength and weathers very well. It is a material for the architect
or designer interested in creating distinctive and enduring
architecture.
Cast Stone products manufactured for this residence in Newport Coast,
California were color tinted, and included an arched entry assembly,
balustrades, stair treads, pavers, wall caps, and pool coping.
Plaster
Plaster products are for interior use only. They are reinforced with
fiberglass and are cast in a choice of two finishes. A smooth, white
finish is used if the product is to be painted, stained or faux
finished. A rough finish is used if an "aged" appearance is desired.
Subtle color tints may be added during the casting of rough finished
products.
Plaster moldings, capitals, and light sconces were manufactured for
Security Pacific Bank, Sacramento, California.
Sandstone
This innovative, non-combustible material is for interior use only. It
is available in fifteen standard colors and mirrors the beautiful
texture of quarried limestone. A&M's sandstone is both a superior and
exquisite material when used for fireplace mantels or interior
columns.
Colored sandstone was used to manufacture the arched entry
assembly
for the Privilege storefront at the Beverly Center,
Beverly Hills,
California.
