Forticrete extends Anstone walling range

Forticrete has extended its popular Anstone Premier walling stone range, with a new Olde Steel Grey colour designed to replicate a number of natural Scottish Stones, as well as those commonly found in areas of East and West Yorkshire.

Mike Emmerson, Northern Regional Sales Manager at Forticrete, commented: “Following the introduction of the National Planning Policy Framework, house builders and developers are increasingly looking to ensure their projects reflect the identity of its local surroundings and materials, a core requirement for planners across the UK under the new framework.

“As such, having provided cost-effective alternatives to natural stone since the 1920’s, we took the decision to further extend our comprehensive Anstone range with the addition of the striking Olde Steel Grey colour. We are extremely pleased to provide our customers across Scotland, as well as both East and West Yorkshire with a colour option capable of recreating the appeal of many of the natural stone walls predominantly found across those areas.”

Forticrete’s Anstone products are available in Standard colour ranges and in an 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.

The products are manufactured from a carefully controlled mixture of graded limestone and other natural aggregates, cement and pigments, in accordance with national product standards for reconstructed stone masonry units. They meet the statutory requirements of the relevant section of The Building Regulations 2000 and The Building Standards (Scotland) Regulations 1990 (amended 2001).

All Forticrete walling products comply with an ECO-WALL standard which demonstrates that they are made within factories conforming to quality standard ISO 9001, environmental management standard ISO 14001 and responsible sourcing standard BES 6001.
