| Learn about cast stone at The Big Green Home Show |
 Visitors can learn about cast stone at The Big Green Home Show, which takes place at the National Self Build & Renovation Centre, Swindon, from 28-30 October 2011. Procter Cast Stone will have staff on hand to explain the benefits of this cost-effective and versatile material, and to discuss specific projects. Visitors who pre-register online benefit from FREE tickets. This event will be an excellent opportunity to see and handle examples of cast stone and to ask questions of experienced experts. Procter Cast Stone is one of the UK's leading manufacturers of standard and bespoke cast stone products, and is a full member of UKCSA (UK Cast Stone Association). The company provides self-builders with the same standard of customer service as it does to large national housebuilders. Customers receive a comprehensive service that covers technical consultation, site survey, custom design, mouldmaking, manufacture and delivery. Fixed-price detailed quotations are provided, and colour sample packs enable customers to see cast stone that has been manufactured to mimic different types of natural stone. Procter Cast Stone even has experience in supplying cast stone for listed buildings and projects in conservation areas, so knowledgeable support can be provided when customers are applying for planning permission. Cast stone is an excellent choice for new-build projects, renovations, conversions and extensions. As well as being used to mimic traditional features fashioned from natural stone, cast stone can be used to add striking details to contemporary designs, complementing brick-faced, rendered block-built and rendered timber-framed properties. While standard products are the most cost-effective, custom designs can be manufactured more economically than using natural stone. Being easy to work with in terms of design and installation, cast stone offers maximum impact for minimal effort and cost. Visitors to the Procter Cast Stone stand can request a copy of The Self-Builder's Guide to Cast Stone, which explains what this versatile material can be used for, how it is manufactured and how easy it is to work with. Illustrated with a wealth of colour photographs, the guide includes a table of applicable cast stone British Standards and Eurocodes, and lists sources of further information.
