What is Stonecast® Cotswold Stone Paving?
Cotswold Stone paving is celebrated for its charming aesthetic and rustic appeal, perfectly suited for traditional gardens, quaint cottages, and elegant estates.Stonecast®, an exceptional alternative to natural Cotswold stone, captures the unique textures and warm hues characteristic of genuine stone through meticulous craftsmanship. Using moulds taken from authentic Cotswold stone, each Stonecast slab replicates the intricate details of natural stone, ensuring a true-to-nature appearance.
Why Choose Stonecast® Cotswold Stone?
Natural Cotswold stone, a type of limestone quarried from the picturesque hills of the Cotswolds, is renowned for its durability and distinctive golden tones. Each piece showcases unique variations and weathering that add character to outdoor spaces. However, the costs associated with quarrying and transporting real Cotswold stone can be significant, typically ranging from £100 to £250 per square metre, making Stonecast® a more cost-effective choice. Additionally, the quarrying process can have a notable environmental impact.
Are Stonecast® Cotswold Stone patios environmentally friendly?
Westminster Stone prioritises using local materials and minimising transportation emissions where possible, with the aim of reducing our carbon footprint. Avoiding the requirement of quarrying for limited materials with Stonecast® alternatives helps us to achieve this.
Is Stonecast® Cotswold Stone paving long-lasting?
Each Stonecast® slab undergoes a meticulous production process, including a unique 7-day curing period, resulting in exceptional durability, frost resistance, and a naturally non-slip surface. You can expect to see little change to the colour or condition of your Cotswold Stone patio or walkway for many years to come.
Is Cotswold Stone Stonecast® paving easy to install?
Yes, Stonecast® paving is produced with consistent size and depth, ensuring a smooth and efficient installation process that saves time and resources. Because of our careful production process, Stonecast® offers more consistency in quality and sizing than traditional Cotswold Stone.
