Cast stone is manmade limestone that provides ornamental or functional features and other structures. It is made from fine and coarse aggregates, Portland cement, mineral oxide color pigments, chemical admixtures and water. Cast stone products can range from very simple designs like window sills to the most complicated architectural elements in buildings. Cast stone has the same durability or even better than dimensional building stone depending on how they are manufactured. When cast stone is properly installed and selected it results in an architectural project of lasting beauty enjoyed for years. It is very important to take good care of cast stone to ensure that it will last for the longest time.
Natural weathering is something that can happen to cast stone products and there is a way to alleviate this by the application of a transparent concrete sealer on hand from any hardware store. If there are minor dings, nicks, or scratches to maintain this use a touch of any paint. There are those finishes that have a black antique effect, for this use black paint and for a lighter antique look, white will suffice. Simply dab the paint onto the scratch and wipe off the excess and it will blend invisibly.
