Today it is a matter of common knowledge among architects that modern cast stone possesses many superior qualities; that it may be economically made in an endless variety of forms and colors; that if well made, properly set and carefully pointed, it is permanently enduring and resists successfully the ravages of water and fire and that it combines strength and beauty with usefulness.

Our principal goal and the purpose of this web site is to facilitate the use of cast stone, to save time, trouble and expense to all concerned by disseminating accurate and dependable information on proper methods of jointing and construction. Nearly all of these methods have been in practical use for many years.

This site is in no sense intended to be a source of artistic inspiration. We do not presume to even suggest architectural design or influence. For a number of problems several good solutions are possible and the preference is sometimes governed by very slight modifications of profiles and dimensions.

This web site is respectfully dedicated to our best friends - the Architects and the Architectural Engineers and their Assistants, with sincere hope that they will endorse the value of cast stone and express their appreciation of our efforts by designing, receiving and treating it as a trustworthy friend of the building industry.
