THE TRADITIONAL RANGE
Cast Stone THE TRADITIONAL RANGE
Mexboro Company History.
For over 30 years Mexboro has been at the forefront
of manufacturing high quality architectural cast stone
and is now able to offer a wide range of classical cast
stone components, which we are proud to present as
our Traditional Range.
The versatility appearance and performance of cast stone
has led to a huge increase in its popularity.
Cast stone is regularly used in the restoration and re-
furbishment of historic buildings and churches. It is also
used to enhance the aesthetic appeal of modern new build
housing, institutional, commercial and public sector
developments.
Mexboro is proud to have been associated with the supply
of cast stone to many national house builders and has
been involved in numerous prestigious developments
through out the country and overseas, including those
under the direction of English Heritage, the National
Trust, PSA and Ministry of Defence.
A recent successfully completed contract saw the supply
of £500,000 of cast stone to Berkeley Homes Limited at
their prestigious Harrods Village development in Barnes,
London.
Manufacture.
Semi-Dry Process.
The Mexboro Traditional Range of cast stone components
are manufactured by skilled craftsmen using the semi-dry
process and then hand finished to produce a product
virtually identical to quarried stone in appearance and
texture, but at a fraction of the cost.
High quality and carefully graded limestones and sands
are mixed with a cement binder to a earth moist
consistency and then mechanically compacted into the
mould. The unit is then instantly demoulded and hand
finished through traditional methods.
The method of compacting achieves a compression
strength in excess of that required by BS 1217: 1997
specification for cast stone.
The use of an integral waterproofer ensures that the
product complies with the capillary absorption test of BS
1217: 1997 and that the product weathers in a similar
way to natural stone in similar circumstances.
Wetcast Process.
Mexboro also produces structural cast stone utilising the
wetcast process which achieves a denser product with a
close textured surface finish.
This method allows for larger units to be manufactured
and those with often complex reinforcement details. The
company’s modern factory allows for the production and
handling of individual units up to the weight of 10 tons.
The wetcast process uses a comparatively wider range of
aggregate sizes in a higher water content mix. The mix is
then vibrated within the mould and after its initial cure is
demoulded, to be then worked on by the company’s
skilled finishers. Highly authentic cast stone is achieved
by the finishers who remove the laitance (a cement laitance
which forms against the mould face normally 0.5-1.0mm
thick ). Numerous different finishes can be achieved by
the method of removing this laitance and Mexboro
personnel are experienced in acid etching, abrasive rubbing,
grit blasting, retarding, bush hammering and polishing.
Mexboro has recently purchased a Jenny Lind machine
specifically for polishing.
The units manufactured by the wetcast process will retain
their supplied appearance for a longer period and comply
with the initial surface absorption test for weathering as
specified in BS 1217: 1997.

Standard heads for windows and doors with a section of

Pattern and Mould Making.
Mexboro operates its own pattern and mould making shop
and can accommodate the most intricate shapes and
designs. This enables the company to undertake specialist
bespoke projects to clients individual requirements which
are often prohibitively expensive to achieve in natural
stone.
Colours and Finishes.
Manufactured in a range of mellow standard colours using
a variety of natural crushed aggregates, the Traditional
Range of cast stone components will harmonise well with
most building fabrics, whether traditional or new build.
The Mexboro standard colour range includes: Portland,
Bathstone, Hamstone, Red Sandstone, Yorkstone and
Cotswold stone.
With precise pigment control virtually any colour, shade
or hue can be achieved. Please contact our sales office for
information or samples.
Whilst every effort is made to ensure uniformity in colour,
these products are manufactured from natural materials
and occasional variations may occur as they do in natural
quarried stone.
Quality Control.
Mexboro cast stone units are manufactured in accordance
with BS 1217: 1997
Regular internal and external quality control tests are
carried out and Mexboro operates its own NAMAS
calibrated testing equipment as well as undertaking
external independent tests.
• The aggregates used conform to the British Standard
BS 882: 1992 • The cement binder used conform to the
British Standard BS 12: 1996 • The oxide pigments used
conform to the British Standard BS 1014: 1975 • Any
admixture applied would conform to the British Standard
BS 5075
Structural.
The Traditional Range of cast stone
components are decorative and
reinforcement is included within the
product for handling purposes only.
Certain components within the range can
be made structural upon the clients own
professional engineers advice and we
100 x 140 mm or larger are designed to carry a 3 kn
uniformly distributed load for a clear span up to 1 metre
however attention should be paid to avoid any shock
loading during installation. We recommend that all heads
are used in conjunction with a suitable load bearing lintel
(Catnic or similar). Steel support lintels are normally used
below the decorative head however there are occasions
when the structural steel is inserted over the head and
the head itself becomes self supporting.
Design Detailing.
If required Mexboro can arrange for the full structural
design and detailing of units along with their associated
fixings. Please contact our sales office for further information.
Fixings.
The Traditional Range of window and door surrounds are
easily incorporated into the envelope of the building using
readily available cramps and dowels.
Stainless steel dowels should be used for restraint fixing
of head or cills to jambs or e.g. jamb to jamb when supplied
in more than one section.
A wide range of fixings are available on the market, with
some being more suitable than others in certain applications.
Please contact our sales office for further information.
Site Fixing.
Although cast stone is associated with traditional masonry
methods of fixing, Mexboro can provide where necessary
advice and/or details of associated companies who will
undertake the site fixing requirements of the project.
Please contact our sales office for further information.
Mortar Recommendations.
Refer to BS 5628 part 3 :1985
Experience suggests that mortars should not be stronger
than required for design purposes. Mortars containing
lime give a better bond and resistance to rain penetration.
Lime mortars also have the added benefit of self healing
small cracks over time.
The UKCSA technical manual offers good advice on
mortars and refers to the following technical information:
