LCS Stone™ is AFU’s exciting new product… Frank Bracken has developed a super lightweight cast-stone material. Unlike the existing cast stone extruded foam products, those comprised of a layer of foam, mesh, and a thin skin of cement, known to separate due to climate changes,  AFU’s new product, LCS Stone™, has resolved this problem by developing a light weight mix design that is integrated with a cast stone face coat. As a result, AFU provides a higher quality lightweight Cast Stone product that not only competes with the lightness of the foam; it also has a much stronger surface area and can be used in impact zones whereas their competitors cannot withstand impact.

Columns including Tuscan, Doric, Corinthian, Ionic,/Fluted, Rope/Twisted
Various high-quality collections of Cast Stone Mantels, as well as custom design
