CULTURED STONE CLADDING
25 Jan 2012
Newly added to Boral's range of products, Cultured Stone offers a high quality, affordable alternative to natural stone and is available in nine distinct ranges.
Cleverly engineered to look like traditional stone, Boral Cultured Stone® is lighter in weight and comes in nine distinct ranges for a wide variety of colours, shapes and textures.
Cultured Stone allows homeowners to introduce the aesthetic appeal of natural stone to indoor and outdoor spaces and lift a home with the look of natural stone.
According to Boral Clay and Concrete Products National Marketing Manager David Francis, “people want to be in touch with nature. There is an emerging trend in the use of natural-looking materials, especially the look and feel of natural stone.
“As a manufactured material, Cultured Stone is light in weight, requires little maintenance after installation and has 54 per cent recycled content, making it versatile and practical for residential building projects.”
Cultured Stone is also well suited to composite architectural designs, complementing materials such as brick, timber and glass. It can be integrated to achieve dramatic visual appeal. For use on both exterior and interior surfaces, Cultured Stone’s applications extend to walls, fireplaces, water features, outdoor kitchens and integrated barbecues, as well as landscaping elements.
Offering many design options, Cultured Stone is available in nine distinct ranges and a wide variety of stone shapes, colours and textures. Each unit of Cultured Stone is cast in natural stone moulds before it is meticulously hand coloured to achieve the look and feel of stone.
Cultured Stone is largely maintenance free and, in most applications, does not require painting, coating or sealing after installation. Boral Cultured Stone is supplied with a limited 50-year warranty.
