From town to beach

Whether you are planning a new outdoor living area for a beach house or a townhouse, you are probably looking to create an attractive, relaxing landscape.

Stone walls and fireplaces can introduce a country character, and bring a sense of permanence to such an area but they needn't be a difficult or expensive option. With Alpine Stone's lightweight manufactured stone, you can build a wall in a day.

Alpine Stone director Colin Dawson says the composite stone replicates the look of natural stone, right down to the colour and texture.

"But while Alpine Stone looks and feels like stone, its light weight makes it easier to work with," he says. "It can be installed approximately three times faster than conventional stone, and allows considerable design flexibility."

Dawson says Alpine Stone is also an environmental option. As the stone is manufactured, rather than mined, it is a sustainable product.

The Alpine Stone collection includes LedgeStone, Alpine Village Stone, Alpine Schist, Crawford Hills Stone and Riverstone. For added peace of mind, all the products come with a 55-year manufacturer's warranty.
