The Secret to Stonecast Paving
Britain's landscapes are enriched with the history of Yorkstone paving, gracing everything from ancient castles to charming cottages. We understand the beauty of this heritage material. However, genuine Yorkstone can be expensive and challenging to source in large quantities. So we created a design-savvy solution: Stonecast, our innovative and meticulously hand-crafted reproduction. Westminster Stone’s Yorkstone paving captures the essence of natural Yorkstone, making it ideal for homeowners seeking the same traditional appearance but at a more budget friendly price. Unlike mass-produced imitations, the Stonecast ranges prioritise quality and authenticity.
The secret lies in our unique approach. John Clifford, Westminster Stone’s Managing Director, personally develops moulds using sourced originals from around the country. These meticulously hand-crafted moulds capture the natural riven texture and subtle variations of timeworn stone, ensuring exceptional authenticity. This dedication to detail results in paving that seamlessly blends the charm of antiquity with modern practicality and has previously been approved for listed building projects and endorsed by the National Trust for preserving historical accuracy.
Stonecast isn't just about aesthetics; it is built for the discerning designer. Crafted with a proprietary recipe using only the highest quality raw materials, Stonecast offers exceptional durability, natural slip resistance, and resistance to frost. This weather-resistant material is specifically designed for the British climate, ensuring your garden endures for generations.
Westminster Stone's commitment to sustainability complements any design-focused project. Where possible, we prioritise locally sourced materials near our Shropshire base, minimising transportation needs and reducing their carbon footprint. By offering a readily available, long-lasting product in Stonecast, we reduce the demand for quarrying natural stone, further contributing to environmental sustainability.
