Cultured stone has come a long way from the early manufactured products that betrayed their artificial origins from across the room. Modern cultured stone is cast from molds taken directly from natural stone faces, with color variation built into individual units rather than applied as surface treatments. Installed by skilled masons, contemporary cultured stone can be difficult to distinguish from natural stone at conversational distances. The advantages remain significant. Weight roughly a third of natural stone allows installation without additional structural support in most residential applications. Pricing typically runs lower than natural stone of similar appearance. Availability of consistent colors and sizes makes planning simpler. Springfield homeowners considering cultured stone benefit from working with masons experienced in proper installation, since the lightweight product has installation requirements different from traditional natural stone work.
