At Stonecast we cater to almost all bespoke concrete and FX Stone projects that require specialist casting or manufacturing. We assist architects, interior designers, artists and others who require hands-on custom work and one-off requests.
A variety of signage options are possible with concrete.
At Stonecast, we offer two types of signage. We can cast each letter individually before affixing it with steel pins and epoxy adhesives. Alternatively, we cast a panel with the lettering rebated into it and fix the whole piece to the wall.
Stonecast undertakes sculpture projects by discretion of owner Martine Laporta (BA Hons Sculpture). The style of sculpture, material used and mould making is project dependent.
We also offer mould making services for sculptors.
Restoration
Stonecast owner Martine Laporta, is a skilled stone sculpture restorer with 35 years of experience. She personally works on each restoration project that we receive. Martine uses contemporary materials that will best suit the repair and restoration process and then marries the final finish to match the rest of the piece so that breakages and chips are no longer evident. If the sculpture is broken in pieces then structural repairs are always carried out.
Martine includes the restoration of the stone columns and tiles at the Cape Town High Court and the religious statues at St Joseph’s Marist College in Rondebosch in her large portfolio of restoration work.
