Say hello to Forticrete!

Forticrete is part of Ibstock Building Products, a group of companies which manufacturers and distributes a wide range of products servicing a breadth of construction needs. Forticrete's range of products is unrivalled in its field, having evolved over five decades through close collaboration with our customers. By analysing the needs of an ever-changing market and adding their own considerable technical expertise they have developed products that provide an optimum balance of aesthetics, performance and value. The company has long been the driving force at the forefront of innovation in Architectural concrete block development and this reputation now extends to the processes that they use and the services they provide to serve the UK construction industry as a whole.

The first range available on bimstore is Forticrete’s Cast Stone Dressings – which are a perfect example of advanced technology and time honoured craftsmanship working together in perfect harmony. The result is a wide range of Cast Stone products using a wet or semi-dry format of unrivalled quality with no compromise to aesthetic appeal.

Forticrete Cast Stone Dressings are manufactured from high grade limestone and sandstone aggregates that have been chosen for their known performance and reliable quality. The cement, pigments and waterproofing agents all conform to their appropriate British or European Standard. Forticrete Cast Stone Dressings are created from an homogeneous mix, without using a ‘backing’ material. This ensures that no undue stresses are built up within the unit. The major technical performance characteristics of Forticrete Cast Stone Dressings exceed the requirements of BS EN 771-5:2011, BS EN 845-2, BS 1217 and the United Kingdom Cast Stone Association specification.
