Increasingly, Cultured Stone® by Boral is the first choice
of home and business owners looking for a beautiful and economical cladding for
interior or exterior walls, fireplaces, and vertical columns. Cultured Stone is
durable and versatile, perfect for nearly any application.
Lighter weight and easier to install than natural stone
products, cultured stone requires less cutting and shaping, thereby resulting
in easier installation and less waste.
In the Rocky Mountain region, Boral’s Cultured Stone is sold
and marketed by ProStone Systems
of Denver and Salt Lake City.
Colors and Textures of Cultured Stone
To replicate the natural textures of natural stone, Boral
production engineers cast molds of Cultured Stone from carefully selected real
stone pieces. A broad range of color selections are created from Portland cement,
natural aggregates, and iron oxide pigments to create a perfect match for
natural stone veneers. Boral produces Cultured Stone uses thousands of
different molds to eliminate the possibility of duplication in a single lot.
Even units produced in the same mold vary in color and highlights.
Boral manufactures Cultured Stone in 100 texture and color
combinations.
Application of Cultured Stone
Properly applied, Cultured Stone, available from ProCoat in
Denver, meets all applicable building code requirements. Details of code
compliance are listed within the instructions for the product installation.
Cultured Stone should be applied over well-cleaned and
structurally sound substrates of wood, concrete, wallboard, brick, or metal and
secured with specified Portland Cement mortar.
For best results, installation should comply precisely to
the product instructions.
Durability of Cultured Stone
Boral offers a 50-year warranty with properly installed of
Cultured Stone. The material is resistant to rain, wind, and snow and will
retain the original color much like natural stone. The only suggested
maintenance is an occasional washing to remove dust and dirt to preserve the
original beauty.
Affordability
Cultured
Stone from Boral, available through ProCoat Systems, is easier to
