WE ARE CERTIFIED INSTALLERS OF OWENS CORNING CULTURED STONES Owens Corning Cultured Stone® products originated in 1962 when brothers Garrett and Floyd Brown of Vallejo, California saw the need for a new kind of building material. The entrepreneurial pair of plasterers developed manufactured stone veneer: exact replicas of natural stones used for building, cast in flexible molds and hand colored with iron oxide pigments. Made of lightweight aggregate materials, the veneers were approximately one-quarter the weight of full-thickness stone and could be adhered to most wall surfaces Cultured Stone® manufactured stone veneers meet AC-51 criteria, the strictest requirements in the industry.

The most common use for Portland cement is in the production of concrete. Concrete is a composite material consisting of aggregate (gravel and sand), cement, and water. As a construction material, concrete can be cast in almost any shape desired, and once hardened, can become a structural (load bearing) element. Users may be involved in the factory production of pre-cast units, such as panels, beams, road furniture, or may make cast-in-situ concrete such as building superstructures, roads, dams. These may be supplied with concrete mixed on site, or may be provided with “ready-mixed” concrete made at permanent mixing sites. Portland cement is also used in mortars (with sand and water only) for plasters and screeds, and in grouts (cement/water mixes squeezed into gaps to consolidate foundations, road-beds, etc).

Portland cement was developed from so called natural cements made in Britain in the early part of the nineteenth century, and its name is derived from its similarity to Portland stone, a type of building stone that was quarried on the Isle of Portland in Dorset, England.
Joseph Aspdin, a British bricklayer, in 1824 was granted a patent for a process of making cement which he called Portland cement. His cement was an artificial cement similar in properties to the material known as “Roman Cement” (patented in 1796 by James Parker) and his process was similar to that patented in 1822 and used since 1811 by James Frost who called his cement “British Cement”. The name “Portland cement” is also recorded in a directory published in 1823 being associated with a William Lockwood and possibly others.

GAPPSI INSTALLATION OF CONCRETE
We excavate the site and compact sub grade with a mechanical plate compactor.
We install 4 to6 inches of concrete for walkways and patios for pedestrian areas with reinforced wire mesh. We score concrete with joiner to create the definition of individual slabs also called flags, usually concrete flags are 48 inches x 48 inches this will allow concrete to split were the seems are should ice build under the concrete slab. It also makes it visually appealing to score the concrete in flags. For concrete sidewalk and patios we use 3000 psi concrete and we add fiber mesh if we want to further reinforce the finished concrete product. Concrete is produced by combining gravel, sand and Portland cement.
