Product Description

About Coated Foam Concrete
Coated foam is not an extremely involved process. It just requires the correct equipment. The first step is to decide upon which mold to use. You may want a decorative arch over your front door, columns, or other decorative stone touches. Once you select what you want, the mold is filled with an extremely strong foam material. Once the material has set, concrete is applied to the outside of it. The next step is to install the new piece in the location that you desire.
Replacing Stone Features
We love the look of our home, but there are some key issues with the weight that is being created by the stone features. A perfect solution to maintain the look of your home is to replace them with coated foam features. Not only would the replacements be an exact match, they are also extremely lightweight. This sounds like amazing technology, and frankly, it is! Whether it is an exquisite stone feature or traditional stone up on the outside of your home, the possibilities are limitless. We can help you to find pre-screened contractors that will help you to get this project started.
Molds and Computers
The latest technology in stone features involves using lasers, molds, and computerized techniques. The process begins with a scan of the piece you are trying to replicate, or, the design is encoded into the computer. The next step is to make a mold for the concrete foam to be inserted. Once the foam has hardened, it is removed from the mold and other materials are applied to create the desired stone look. The next step is to install the new piece. Youll be amazed with the results! Come to us if you are looking for a project like this. We know exactly where to find this kind of specialized technique.
Lasers
Another technique involves using lasers to cut prefabricated foam. The process begins with an image that you want to create and is fed into a computer. The computer program then uses the lasers to cut the foam to the specified size. After the foam is cut, it is then dipped in too many durable coatings. In a final step, it is installed where you specify. At the Home Center of West Michigan, were on the cutting edge of this kind of technology. Please give us a call so that we can help you get started on your project.
