RECREATING THE

APPEAL OF NATURAL

STONE SINCE 1926

Forticrete Walling Stone has a history that cannot be replicated, having provided a cost-effective alternative to natural stone since the nineteen twenties.

The Forticrete Anstone and Shearstone Ranges offer a choice of

the three most popular types of natural stone fi nish.

SPLIT – the most cost-effective type of fi nish for housing and

landscaping projects throughout Britain.

PITCHED – a rugged effect, in which each block has a raised

centre, is typical of quarry dressed stone.

COTTAGE – a rough, irregular shape which replicates stone

traditionally walled in its natural quarried state.

When these options are combined with carefully selected colour

ranges, Anstone and Shearstone give you the ability to match the

regional vernaculars throughout the UK.

Both Anstone and Shearstone products are available in

Standard colour Ranges and the enhanced Premier range, which

provides yet further colour options combined with an appearance

and weathering qualities that are almost indistinguishable from

natural stone. All of the products are through-coloured, and may

be dressed on site to suit individual requirements, while retaining

the original colour and texture. In addition to the standard colour

ranges, Forticrete also has the facility to manufacture non-

standard colours to meet specifi c needs.

HELPFUL HINT: The strength of the mortar should always be weaker than that of the stonework. Your mortar supplier should be able to provide advice or you can call the Forticrete Technical Hotline on 0800 262136.

ANSTONE products match many of the natural building stones

predominant in Britain. Olde Heather Black, for instance, is an

excellent match for varieties of weathered Pennine Sandstone,

whereas Regency™ Buff and Olde Heather Gold correspond to the

Yorkshire Sandstones. The Buff, Black Old Weathered and Brown

Old Weathered are often chosen to complement the Scottish

natural stones.
