GRG (glass reinforced gypsum) is our most popular casting material. This is actually a laminated slush casting with fiberglass reinforcing for a beautiful surface and great fracture resistance. It cannot burn. We can work thick, thin, or both in one piece. We usually use casting plaster on the surface, for workability, and laminate for strength with Hydrocal. | |||

Terra cotta:
we repair and make replacement units. We may cast smaller concrete
items ourselves. We have a source for custom foamed-plastic parts
too. |

| Concrete
work |
We are allied with a very good precasting company. We make concrete molds and will ship them to you. You may want to find a concrete company near you, skilled in batch design and color matching, reinforcing and hardware insertion. Concrete molds are naturally far stronger than plaster molds, but the detail is all there. |

Archicast is friendly with other excellent Memphis-area artisans: woodworkers, metalworkers, glass blasters, fiberglass fabricators, faux finishers, sculptors, ceramicists, and many other artists. We work with local architectural historian John Lynn Hopkins. We have been listed for many years by Old House Journal and Traditional Building magazines. We are members of the National Trust for Historic Preservation and are listed by the New-York Landmarks Conservancy and the Restoration Trades Directory. |
