Cast Stone Winter Care
All of our cast stone pieces are manufactured with a high density cast stone mix with a PSI strength of 7500. While this high density mixture is designed to produce a strong and durable product, proper maintenance is recommended to protect your product from the freeze thaw cycles that occur in winter. Any piece which can hold water, snow or ice or that is placed directly on the ground surface can be damaged by the winter freeze cycles.
Natural Aging and Efflorescence
Part of the natural aging cycle for all cast stone products is a chemical reaction between salts found in natural materials and water. This reaction is called efflorescence. The degree of efflorescence will vary depending on weather conditions. When mother nature produces rainy, cold windy weather, the calcium carbonate (salt) contained in the raw materials used to make cast stone will be drawn to the surface and will appear as a chalky white residue on the surface of the piece. The residue will disappear as more of the same weather conditions complete the efflorescence cycle and will disappear as the chalky white residue washes away. The efflorescence process occurs only once.
Each piece of cast stone will age differently. Mother Nature will ultimately determine the appearance each piece will acquire as it ages. However, these natural processes can be minimized by scrubbing and cleaning the affected areas with a soft brush.
