Cast Process
The wet cast process is more mould intensive than the semi dry
process because it is only possible to achieve one casting per mould
per day. The mix has to be left to cure in the mould for 24 hours
prior to demoulding. Once demoulded, the unit is then surface treated
for either a smooth or exposed aggregate finish.
The inherent strength of wet cast stone makes it ideally suited
for structural applications such as balustrades and balconies. At
the opposite end of the scale are also much smaller items such as
reinforced lintels and cills together with purely decorative items
such as wall copings and pillar caps.

have made use of wet cast stone.
