Cast Stone Method & Structure
At R Whitehead (Concrete) Ltd, components are manufactured using a wetcast, Homogeneous or Semi-Dry process. The moulds used in the manufacture of cast stone products are designed and made by our highly skilled and experienced craftsmen within our own in-house joinery facility.
We only use the best quality aggregates to produce our dry and wetcast stone products. Our craftsmanship in the manufacture of our cast stone dressings shows in the quality achieved in our products, each unit being finished by hand to the highest of standards.
Structural Properties
All cast stone products which are made by the semi-dry method are purely for decorative purpose only. Their design does not allow for these items to be load-bearing units.
We suggest that for all load-bearing applications, a wetcast homogeneous mix is used in the production of articles required. Lifting devices can be introduced into those units that fall outside the maximum lifting of weights, which is stated by the Health & Safety Executive.
