Westfields Figtree has recently gone under a transformation, including the use of Cultured Stone to clad part of its exterior.

Aspen Dressed Fieldstone was chosen for the exterior wall sections. Fieldstone's large unique pieces created a dramatic and robust external feature wall that looks and feels like real stone.  

Cultured Stone is a manufactured stone. It is made from lightweight concrete and is therefore only around a quarter of the weight of real stone. This means it requires less structural support and time to lay, as a result it is both cheaper to purchase and install, than conventional stone.

Dressed Fieldstone gives a rugged natural look. It can be used in a variety of ways, from simple fireplaces and entrances, to dramatic displays and huge feature walls.
