Click Cast Stone

Cast stone for construction and landscaping from Click Cast Stone

Click Cast Stone is a British supplier specialising in cast stone that offers a catalogue of standard products and bespoke fabrications. The company presents itself as a distributor of Forticrete's output, a manufacturer it describes as the market leader, and states that its entire range undergoes steam curing. Its offering is aimed at improving the exterior appearance of buildings and resolving specific construction details, both in small projects and in wholesale purchases.

Standard product catalogue

The catalogue covers a series of elements designed for facades, walls and gardens:

• Ashlar Blocks: a smooth finished block that is presented as a cost-effective alternative to natural stone, with characteristics of the real thing.
• Decorative Heads: models DH1 and DH2, non-structural, that enhance the appearance above a window or door opening. As they are not load bearing, a suitable supporting lintel is required beneath them.
• Keystones: L-shaped pieces conceived as a design feature above windows and doors, designed to be used in conjunction with the decorative heads.
• String Courses: a stone feature detail that breaks up large areas of brick or blockwork by introducing a contrast in the wall, with internal and external 90 degree returns to complete the design.
• Quoins: corner details available in a range of sizes.
• Copings: capping pieces for garden walls and parapets, with various profiles, including flat, Once Weather and Twice Weathered.
• Plinths: feature bands for the top of a 150 mm thick wall that steps back to 100 mm, also with internal and external 90 degree returns.
• Cills: in Stooled version, traditional, with a 102.5 mm stooling at each end built into the wall, and in Slip version, which fits between the reveals and is not built into the adjacent walls.
• Ecohabitats: a range designed to provide safe spaces for bats and swifts, enabling them to live in harmony with people.

Stock products are offered in Bath colour, while ashlar blocks are available in three tones: Bath, Buff and Portland. The company makes samples available to check the quality and colour of the cast stone. In addition to standard designs, it manufactures bespoke pieces to customer specifications.
