The New Age of Stone
Imagine…… a proprietary “green” building material that has all of the positive attributes of both concrete and wood without any of their respective, inherent drawbacks … a material that is fireproof, mold proof, termite proof, strong but lightweight….. a material that can be formulated to have the PSI of cement or a quarter of its hardness and density – depending upon the market application … a material that can have four times the tensile and flexural strength of concrete, or less, again depending upon the application …. a material that can be cut or trimmed and nailed, screwed, or bonded – just like wood… a material that is UV stable, passes industry standard freeze-thaw tests, is stain resistant, can be formed into virtually any shape, can be impregnated with any color (down to the core) and can be made to look like virtually any building material - whether it be limestone, slate, wood, etc.
