Man made stone fireplace mantels have been around for centuries and are
more popular today than ever before . . . . .
. . . the realistic look and significantly lower cost make them a viable alternative to natural stone surrounds. History of Cast Stone
Though mixtures and casting techniques vary between manufacturers, cast
stone is generally made from a mixture of finely graded aggregates such as limestone, marble, granite and quartz, silica sand, and a bonding agent.
Extremely durable and versatile, it is available in any color and can closely
replicate a wide range of natural stones including limestone, bluestone,
slate, granite, travertine and marble.
