Who should take the Advanced Cast Stone and GFRC Training? The 3 hour advanced cast stone seminar is recommended for the concrete professional looking to expand his/her portfolio of skills and experience to confidently work in the high-end construction community and start a Cast Stone business of their own without expensive machines. Now this doesn't exclude the person who is not a professional but someone who knows the fundamentals of making concrete or mixing cement. I, for instance started my precast company in a small backyard building with just myself and a friend. I developed it into one of the largest precast manufacturing plants in the US. I started the business with the same equipment and techniques used in the video seminars, and you can learn this skill too. |

Lightweight foam coated precast products use 80% less material than precast |
We can also use recycled aggregates such as recycled concrete, recycled
water, and fly ash.
To achieve our sanded finish, we use natural sand and water which is used
like sandpaper to remove the smooth cement surface and expose the
aggregates, we also re-use the by-product of
this procedure (i.e. cement, sand water).
We like green GFRC because it produces a very lightweight and durable material
that is easy to install. The end product is very strong and
may be installed as thin as 3/4" which is practically impossible to do with
any other concrete or cementitious material.
In addition to being strong and lightweight, green vintage cast stone GFRC also offer a greater variety of option and finishing styles, another great advantage is that the materials very strong and not brittle like concrete which allows us to install anywhere without much risk.
