This article explores the durability and suitability of cast stone, specifically man-made limestone, for outdoor living spaces. It highlights the material's resilience against the elements, making it an ideal choice for outdoor installations like fireplaces and mantels.

A question we are frequently asked is can our stone stand up to the elements?  As you can see by this beautiful outdoor installation of our Cambridge mantel, by Eichnlaub Co. , based in Pittsburg, Pa, that it is an enthusiastic  “YES”.  Our man made limestone’s original use was intended for outdoor applications due in part to the forming process which makes it more durable and stronger than natural limestone.

Need more proof?  The Pentagon, Empire State Building and 35 of the 50 state capitol buildings all use Indiana limestone also known as Bedford limestone, recognized to be the highest quality quarried limestone in the United States in which we designed our product to emulate.

Now with that peace of mind, what’s stopping you from extending your creature comforts from the inside to your outdoor living space?
