Stonecrete
came into being ten years ago to fill a need for a durable lightweight
alternative to other options available on the market. Other products
were available, but did not suit many of the styles of homes, leaving
people with a look that did not integrate with their landscaping
or overall style. No real innovations had occurred in this market
for many years, and the choices people had were limited.
David
Kennett's background in the concrete industry, his experience in
moulding and his design flair have come together to create a great
alternative for something every house needs - a letterbox.
The
result is upmarket, lightweight concrete letterboxes that don't
cost the earth. They can also go in the boot of your car to be taken
home immediately and self-installed easily.
Product
Information
Instead
of the letterboxes weighing 250kg they are around 30-55kg. They
have a sandstone look textured finish, at about 1/5th of the cost
of sandstone, and as they are manufactured with a coloured mix they
never need painting.
The letterboxes are moulded from a unique fibre-reinforced concrete
mix that took 18 months to research and develop. It allows the walls
to be thin yet strong, overcoming the normal problem of thin concrete
- cracking.
However,
should you wish to colour co-ordinate your letterbox with your home,
it can be painted with 1 litre of outdoor acrylic paint.
Stonecrete
products are available at leading nurseries across Australia.
