How are PRAIRIE stone units manufactured?
The PRAIRIE stone natural look is achieved through combining crushed limestone aggregates, silica, cement and other densifiers. This admixture is carefully molded with automatic machinery. The units are then cured for a minimum of 28 days. One or more faces are split, then ground, polished or machine cut to expose the natural aggregates to create a uniquely colored limestone effect, or in the case of the Earth Blend Collection, a blended two-tone color. These molded units are then customized according to our customer’s requirements. Cutting these units is easy because the all-natural aggregates are dispersed through the entire unit, ensuring the same consistent color all the way through.
