If you are looking to add the beauty of natural flagstone, newyorkstone, cobblestone, etc. to your patio, pool deck, entryway or walkway, there's now a less expensive option that will provide you with the look and feel of real stone without the disadvantages. Stonecast architectural paving is a patented finishing system developed by Mastery Surfaces that provides a durable, low-maintenance alternative to real stone at much lower cost.

Why to use StoneCast architectural system instead of flagstone?

Here is a recent e-mail inquiring from a lady in Denver

"Last fall a contractor installed a flagstone patio for me. He carefully laid the flat stones on a bed of sand and then grouted the spaces between the stones with mortar. Well, the flagstone are separating, the mortar is cracking and the patio is a mess. The contractor wants to put a layer of cement over the sand and start over. Can you help me?".

Besides its costly installation, incorporating real stone into your patio has some drawbacks. For example, Flagstone tends to layer off and shift from its original placement, and flagstone mortar tends to crumble over time. In most cases, it also doesn't work well over existing concrete because of elevation considerations. StoneCast Architectural eliminates these problems. This cast-in-place paving system can be applied directly over existing concrete. It can be hand-troweled to create a unique look or imprinted to duplicate real stone texture. Moreover, installation is much faster than flagstone.

Can you guess which one is Real flagstone?
