Ilam stone wet cast architectural masonry is an extremely durable, high strength material available in a wide range of colours and finishes.
The use of wet cast components is ideal in situations where high strength structural capacity and inherent durability are essential. Additionally, wet cast components have a higher resistance to abrasion and impact damage, particularly exposed arrises.
Ilam stone provides a fully bespoke service in the supply of wet cast products. It is important that Ilam stone be involved in the design process as early as possible where wet cast components are required as unlike semi-dry method, stones can only be produced at one per day per mould. Also depending on the finish required, there could be additional work required to achieve the desired result.
