Performance, flexibility & choice

Cast stone offers the flexibility to choose your exact colour, texture, finish and stone unit dimensions. Performance is often superior to quarried natural stone with regard to its increased strength and reduced moisture absorption.

An attractive and cost effective alternative to quarried stone almost any three-dimensional geometric form can be cast, allowing design of elegant curves as well as straight-edged features.

The colour and texture of most stone can now be matched using crushed rock fines and/or carefully selected and graded natural sands, usually mixed with white cement.

Cast stone is perfect for arches, balustrades, bullseyes, copings, cornices, porticos, steps and window and door surrounds due to the level of precise, sharp detail achievable.

Cill sections

Consilium are able to source an extensive range of standard and bespoke cill sections. Cills can be cast in any number of lengths, determined by the frame/opening size of your build and the subsequent choice of stooling. In addition, profiles can be cast to suit any required bay configuration.

Copings, caps & spheres

Our technical team will help you determine the length of each coping profile, confirmed at quotation based on your requirements. We can source a range of alternative lengths, widths and profiles designed to specific requirements on request.

Heads & lintels

Heads are cast as non-structural decorative features to enhance the visual appearance of your building project. Heads can be cast in any combination of splayed or chamfered with keystones. Although heads are supplied as self-supporting and non-structural, we can source cast structural units as required. We also cast bespoke heads such as arched, keystone and radial, with the facility to embellish the lintels with motifs and scrolling.
