ARCHITECTURAL PRECAST CONCRETE VS. CAST STONE
BY FRED MCGEE
EXAMINING QUALITY, PRICE AND SAFEGUARDS OF ARCHITECTURAL PRECAST CONCRETE AND ARCHITECTURAL CAST STONE
Checkerboard precast (above): This job depicts extremely poor quality control produced by a plant that was not certified by APA or PCI.
Right: This image depicts inconsistent color and texture of trim units that are result of poor quality control by the precaster (note the center piece of trim). The owner should have rejected this job.
