42cm Shugborough Vase Stone Planter

This is a unique form of cast limestone, with a surface texture, feel and strength similar to Portland or natural limestone. The principal materials for this are limestone, white cement and sand, a mix which has a feel of damp sand or earth. This stone is packed into the mould either by hand or a pneumatic hand rammer. No finishing is required with this material due to the quality of the mould manufacture and casting, resulting in a look that’s virtually indistinguishable from natural quarried stone and weathers beautifully.

While displaying similar properties to that of natural stone, cast stone is significantly more cost effective piece for piece, making it the ideal choice for many ornamental and architectural products. Our vapour curing process gives the stone the equivalent of 14 days’ strength overnight, which results in reduced delivery lead times and improved handling.
