TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Acid-Etch Finish: 1. an arcane and labor-intensive cast
stone finishing technique that reveals the aggregate without destroying the crisp detailing painstakingly created in
the casting process. 2. An antique, mottled finish.
Base (Stone Base): 1. an interior detail concealing the
joint between floor and wall; especially appropriate where
cast stone pavers are used as flooring. 2. an exterior element of the facade, a durable finish detail on stucco walls.
Coping: Pool coping: 1. a protective lip atop the bond beam
around the perimeter of a pool, spa or fountain, used in
conjunction with cast stone pavers or as a finish detail
with other types of masonry pool, deck paving or balcony
coping. Balcony coping: 1. a finish detail for use at the
perimeter of a balcony or terrace paved in cast stone. 2.
an important component for use beneath balustrade base
rail, to finish balcony edge and fill any gap between base
rail and balcony edge.
Custom Colour: a non-standard, non-specialty colour that
is chosen by the specifier, matched by a colour supplier
and made into a sample by NVCS.
Custom Mould: a set-up for a new Basic Compo-nent.
Price per quote.
Custom Size: a custom size of a basic component as specified in writing by the purchaser created by adapting an
existing mould. Generally involves a set-up fee.
Cut-away Screed: a specialized Basic Component that is
hand-formed into an “L” shape. As these components
appear much greater in mass than they actually are, they
offer a specification option in areas with limited dimensions. Dimensional tolerances are increased and additional sacking is often required.
Balustrade: a complete cast stone railing system for use
around a balcony or terrace consisting of a row of short,
contoured, cylindrical posts (balusters) resting upon a
base rail and supporting a top cap.
Brick Tie: a mechanical attachment of 22-gauge, galvanized steel hardware commonly used for brick installation
that is imbedded in cast stone and anchored into a structural support.
Colour: 1. integral pigment added to a concrete mix
design. 2 as relates to manufactured cast stone, the colour
choice is separate from choice of hue and tone which are
not controllable and vary widely.
Column: a tapered or straight cast stone cylinder, composed of capital, shaft and base elements; one of three column styles: split, stacking drum, or staggered joint—each
of which is meant to conceal a structural post.
Component: a single piece of cast stone, engineered for a
specific application and generally manufactured in standard dimensions; designed as an essential, yet versatile
element of one or more comprehensive cast stone
Integrated Assemblies.
Concrete Cure Time: optimum cure time for most types of
concrete is 28 days, including cast stone. Minimum time
before shipping is 7 days.
Dowel: a mechanical anchoring technique consisting of a
steel rod anchored into a structural member on one end
and inserted into a pre-drilled cavity in cast stone on the
other.
Engineered Slab: Concrete slabs must be engineered (mix
design, reinforcement, expansion joints, isolating membranes) to allow for thermal expansion and contraction,
dead and live loads. Cracking due to under-engineered
slabs will transmit through ceramic tile, marble, limestone and/or Napa Valley Cast Stone.
Entrapped Air: 1. air trapped in wet concrete and unable
to completely escape the mould. 2. the cause of pitting or
“bug holes”. 3. entrapped air pockets larger than 1/4” are
filled, i.e.“sacked”.
Facing: applied to rough masonry or plastered surface, a
veneer of non-structural cast stone, equipped with embedded mechanical attachment hardware. 1. designed to
replace the cumbersome and expensive use of natural
stone in the complete cladding of buildings. 2. used to
visually “weight” or “ground” the lower section of a building or other structure. 3. found as a decorative element at
entry portals, to enhance the sense of grace and solidity of
this important and personal architectural feature.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Field Cut: Field cuts are required on every job. Pavers
may be cut wet with a diamond blade tile saw or dry with
a diamond or carbide blade. Compared to other masonry
products, cast stone “cuts like butter”. When chamfered or
eased edge pavers must be cut, the eased or chamfered
edge may be restored with a grinding wheel or a wet
stone.
Hairline Cracking (Non-Structural): a form of stress relief
which does not compromise the integrity of cast stone. 1.
Occasionally found in Basic Components where an abrupt
change in dimension occurs. 2. Can be created by non-proportional dimensions such as extreme lengths and narrow
widths that combine to cause internal stress.
Hand-formed Cast Stone: a process by which a partially
cured concrete pour is manipulated by hand to create a
desired effect such as a hollow core, false nose or hardtroweled pour face.
Inherent Tonal Variation: Napa Valley Cast Stone is a
handmade, acid-etched concrete product containing integral colour pigments. The proportions of all ingredients
(sand, cement, water, colour, etc.) are closely monitored to
ensure a product of consistent and desired quality. Tonal
variation is an inherent and desired characteristic of both
natural and cast stone. Exposure to sunlight, moisture,
and wind during the curing process, acid-etching and storage will also contribute to random colour variation in the
project.
Integrated Assembly: a grouping of cast stone Basic
Components inspired by European antecedents, designed
and installed to create a comprehensive architectural element.
Model Numbers: Basic Components are labeled with
model numbers for ease of reference.
Mold: a form from which a casting is manufactured.
Molding: the architectural form used to introduce a variety of outlines and contours in edges or surfaces, equipped
with embedded mechanical attachment hardware. 1. belly
band: a flat or convex moulding applied to the face of a
building, producing a horizontal linear detail which gives
the effect of girding the mass of the building. 2. door surround moulding: straight or radial moulding which wraps
the top and sides of the door, often terminating into plinth
blocks. 3. window surround moulding: straight or radial
moulding which wraps all sides of a window; the lower
horizontal member is often a sill with a deeper profile
than the top and side pieces.
Mould Mark: inherent product of the casting process;
reduced in a process akin to sanding called “stoning”.
PSI: abbreviation of pounds per square inch; unit of measure in determining the compressive strength of concrete.
1. NVCS’s mix design has been engineered to provide a
PSI of approx. 4500 (for comparison, the average residential concrete driveway is 2000 to 2500 PSI).
Pallets: Basic Components are packaged on wooden slat
pallets and shrink-wrapped to prevent movement during
shipment.
Patina: film formed by exposure to the elements (i.e. moisture, staining of flora and fauna, sunlight, etc.); process
may be accelerated or resisted according to the wishes of
the specifier and end user.
Paver: non-glazed, cementitious paving stone with inherent tonal variation characteristic to Cast Stone. 1.
installed indoors in lieu of expensive limestone because of
the availability of cast stone paver styles and sizes, and
ease of pattern layout; may be protected with coating-type
sealer. 2. chosen for exterior use due to superior durability
and the highly sought-after “old world finish” which
evolves as the seasons leave their trace; may be protected
with a penetrating-type sealer.

Pier: a solid masonry block placed at measured lengths
between runs of balustrade, originally designed to add
stability to the balustrade system: 1. end pier: standing
taller than the balustrade cap rail, dressed with a pier
cap, and found at balustrade system termination points.
2. below rail pier: designed to rest upon the balustrade
base rail and support the top cap.
Stoning: literally, sanding with a wet stone to abrade
mould marks or rough edges.
Pier Cap: a peaked or flat cast stone component to dress
the top of a pier, post or pilaster.
Pilaster: a rectangular column. 1. free-standing, complete
with base and cap. 2. applied to and projecting from a
wall.
Plaster Reverse: a mould made from casting plaster, typically destroyed in the process of stripping the cast from
the mould.
Quoin (koin, kwoin): a decorative protection for the exterior corners of a building, sometimes with a rusticated surface. 1. as a basic cast stone component of any Integrated
Assembly which simulates a solid block of stone, i.e. facing corner pieces. 2. a cast stone component used as a decorative detail at the corners of a stucco building.
Sacking: see Entrapped Air
Shop Drawing: a drawing done by NVCS and submitted
to specifier for approval, then provided to the NVCS shop
as a diagram for production. 1. for custom moulds. 2. for
height adjustment, i.e., columns, piers. 3. for blocking of
standard moulds, i.e., custom length or width. 4. for location of pre-drilled holes or mechanical anchors such as
brick ties.
Sill: a horizontal member at the base of a window. 1. a
component part of a cast stone window surround
Integrated Assembly. 2. used alone, an integral element of
the architectural styles of Southern France and Northern
Italy.
Site-Specific Patina: Napa Valley Cast Stone is a nonglazed, cementitious product that will take on a site-specific patina when installed outside. Traffic and use patterns, local soil, exposure to elements, and flora and fauna
such as snail tracks, bird droppings, tree sap and clay
soils will all affect the formulation of a patina. If a patina
is not desired, another product should be specified. A
“weathered stone” aesthetic should be the desire and
choice of the client.
Storage: Do not unpackage components until necessary
for installation. Pallets have been carefully wrapped for
protection. Once the shrink wrap seal has been broken,
the entire contents of the pallet should be laid out flat
with even air distribution. Before unwrapping, protect
components with secure tarps to prevent hairline cracks
caused by rapid, uneven drying by the wind of pre-28 day
cured cast stone and from staining from autumn leaves,
drainage of water from eaves, etc. Even
with these precautions, cast stone will begin to take on a
patina from the effects of storage itself. Prolonged storage
is not recommended.
Synthetic Fiber Reinforcing: method of reinforcing precast concrete with tiny synthetic fibers replaces the need
for rebar on most pieces and allows for easier field cuts.
Thickness: the scale of a Basic Component determines the
requisite thickness.
Threshold: a stone strip at a doorway, meeting the usual
construction requirement to provide a downslope at exterior doors, and ensuring continuous stone detailing where
joining interior and exterior cast stone paving.
Steps & Risers: a cast stone tread (horizontal) and cast
stone riser (vertical) comprise a two-part unit for application over wood framing or rough concrete work. Designed
to impart classical proportions and drama to a universally
important architectural feature.

1. The Quote is the bill of materials and the applicable manufacturing costs that have been approved by
the client as the sole material required to install a
project to meet the design intent shown in the blue
prints. Installation contractors should reference this
document—not the plans—as often professional specifiers will request changes and not reflect these
changes in their drawings.
2. Updated Catalog Versions of Basic Components,
drawn in a CAD format with all applicable dimensions, are available upon request. If standard component numbers are referenced in your quote but cannot be found in your catalog, request an up to date
fax listing of all updated CAD drawings.
3. Shop drawings of the custom components are not
available until after the purchase agent has placed a
deposit. Shop drawings are also issued to show location of hardware. Please request a copy of the
approved drawings directly from the purchase agent.
4. Layout Drawings, sometimes called “shop drawings” by the specifier, are not provided by NVCS.
Installation sub-contractors may or may not be
required to provide them by the purchase agent.
10B.1
Appendix
5. Field Cuts are always required. The number of
cuts will depend on whether the purchase agent
directs you to bid “Dutch Cuts” on all pieces or solely
on the first and last pieces of a run.
6. Saw Cutting. NVCS has been said to “cut like
butter” compared to other masonry products. 95% of
Basic Components do not use metal re-inforcement. A
wet diamond blade saw is the most efficient way to
cut NVCS. Carbide blades will also cut cast stone but
create a lot of concrete dust.
7. Integral Colour is used in the manufacturing
process; therefore the cast stone can be cut and the
edge stoned (with a wet piece of cast stone). However,
a cut section is not appropriate as a finished component of cast stone. Only finished terminus components should be installed in terminus conditions.
8. Standard Hardware consists of two (2) galvanized, 22-gauge brick ties per piece. Mouldings,
Facing and Quoins all include this hardware as standard. Brick ties are typically screwed into plywood
sheathing and/or sheathing with additional blocking.
Special hardware is available upon request (at an
additional cost).

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
9.0 Typical Setting Method used in the application of
cast stone is to clean, dampen and back-butter the
entire setting surface of the piece and level it into a
bed of mortar, tapping or beating as necessary. The
two methods listed below are commonly used. Cost,
setting bed allowances, type of material (i.e.
Columns, Balustrade, Wall Cap, Pavers, etc.) and specific site conditions are generally the determining
factors in choosing the appropriate method.
9.1 Thin-set Mortar or Epoxy Method: A factory prepared filler, mixed with either water or various additives depending on strength required and type chosen. Shear Bond strengths of 250 to 1000 PSI can be
obtained with this type of mortar. We recommend
Laticrete International Inc. products or equivalent.
Please refer to and follow the manufacturer’s exact
recommendations for the particular product chosen.
Typical thin-set thickness is 3/8" to allow for the 1/8"
tolerance of most basic components. 1/4" is the minimum reasonable thickness. Less than 1/4" may
require grinding of the basic components to fit. The
back of each piece should be buttered with a notched
trowel with 1/8" to 3/8" of adhesive mortar with 100%
coverage and the application surface should be troweled with 1/4" to 3/8" adhesive mortar with 100% coverage. This method allows the tradesman to adjust
for the 1/8" tolerance in the NVCS and set the surface level although the material may be warped,
cupped, curled or of uneven thickness.
9.2 Portland Cement Mortar Bed Method: Portland
Cement Mortar is suitable for most surfaces and
most types of cast stone materials, with certain types
of flatwork being a possible exception. (See note
below.) The Tile Council of America recommends a
cement mortar bed of 3/4" to 2" thick. This method is
covered in detail under the American National
Standards Institute, ANSI A108.1A.
Grout should be installed wet and packed tightly
with a masonry tool. Smearing an entire floor is not
recommended due to the porosity of the product.
Expect grout widths to vary. Grout lines are prone to
cracking. NVCS recommends that patching of grout
lines at 90 days past initial installation be included
in all installation contracts.
10. Paver Sizes and Corresponding Available
Thickness:
1", 11⁄2", and 2" pavers are available in dimensions of
6" x 12", 12" x 12", 12" x 18", 18" x 18".
Sizes of 12" x 24", 18" x 24" or 24" x 24" are available
in 11⁄2" and 2" thicknesses only.
Sizes over 24" x 24" are available in a 2" thickness
only.
1" and 11⁄2" pavers are solely for non-vehicular traffic
areas and should be set over an engineered wood
frame or a 4" concrete slab.
2" pavers may be used in vehicular traffic areas over
a 6" concrete slab, or, for non-vehicular traffic, should
be set over an engineered wood frame, a 4" concrete
slab or in a sand bed over compacted base rock.
11. Commercially available grout should be used.
Hand-mixed grout is not recommended because it is
inconsistent and a liability to the tradesman if it
varies in colour or cracks. Typical grout thickness is
3/8" to allow for the 1/8" tolerance of most basic components. 1/4" is the minimum reasonable thickness.
Less than 1/4" may require grinding of the basic components to fit.
12. Clean NVCS with appropriate ProSoCo cleaners
before applying any type of sealer.
13. Sealing. Check with the purchase agent to see if
pre-sealing, sealing after installation, or final grout
sealing of pre-sealed material will be required as part
of the installation bid. For information on products,
see the ProSoCo, Inc. product literature.
14. Protection during storage is critical to preserving
the quality of the cast stone. Protect from damage
caused by uneven drying by laying out all basic components after each pallet is opened. If material must
be tarped, use only white plastic. NVCS is not liable
for damage to basic components after they are delivered to the site.
15. Inspection of Cast Stone should take place as
material is unwrapped. Please inform NVCS if any
basic components have been structurally damaged
during shipment. If you or your client is uncertain
whether to install a basic component due to an unfamiliar characteristic, review the NVCS literature or
call your Design Consultant.

Version 2.8
Special Note: See AFM sealing products (page 23)
Napa Valley Cast Stone endeavored to research
and develop a comprehensive Green Spec for the
manufacture of cast stone and related installation
accessories.
Version 2.9 – As of December of 1995 Napa Valley
Cast Stone has completed over 15 Banana Republic
stores throughout the United States and Canada
that incorporate the use of recycled aggregate and
the comprehensive Green Spec for installation. Seven
of these stores also included the use of recycled fiber
introduced in the paragraph below.
Use of Recycled Aggregate
Our first challenge was to produce the most structurally sound non-loadbearing concrete product possible that includes recycled materials without compromising the integrity of the cast stone. Although
we are still in the preliminary stages of analyzing
our data, we can say that we have had great success
with replacing a percentage of our standard aggregate with a recycled aggregate produced by crushing concrete waste from highway reconstruction
and/or demolished buildings, etc. The cast stone we
have produced with this aggregate has shown the
same strengths and characteristics as our standard
product with three exceptions: 1) It is more mottled
in appearance due to “aggregate shadows” in the
concrete. 2) It is more difficult to cut than our standard mix, although we have had no complaints from
the trades. 3) It is not suitable for use in special
“hand screed” Basic Components because the aggregate size does not allow for effective hand tooling
within our specified tolerances.
Green Specification for Installation
Our second challenge has been to develop a workable green installation Spec for accessories for the
adhesive bed, grout and sealers. We have accomplished this by consulting with the masonry trades
and material suppliers such as Laticrete and
American Formulating and Manufacturing.
In July of 1994 the first two jobs of 50% recycled content NVCS using Green Specifications were installed
successfully. One by tradesmen familiar with our
product, one by tradesmen unacquainted with our
product. We have also used the product on selected
residential projects with complete success, except as
stated above, on hand screed components.

The recycled mix design has also been specified for
use on numerous private residences in the Greater
San Francisco Bay Area.
New – Using Shredded Carpet Waste as
Synthetic Fiber Reinforcement
With the research and development assistance of
the Dalton, GA based carpet manufacturer Shaw
Industries, Napa Valley Cast Stone has been able to
substitute the use of virgin polypropylene fiber reinforcement with post-production, shredded carpet
waste. This synthetic fiber has been thoroughly tested by Law Engineering, Inc. of Atlanta and is commercially available from Shaw Industries for use on
other concrete projects. We encourage you to contact

4. Napa Valley Cast Stone is a handmade, hand-finished product. Each piece is unique. Submitted samples are typical of texture, finish, individual characteristics and colour. They should not be considered
exact representations of each basic component. It is
important for the Authorized Purchaser to inform
their clients of the unique characteristics of cast
stone. The acid-etched finish of cast stone varies
from piece to piece and from area to area on individual pieces. The texture created by entrapped air
ranges from smooth to randomly indented. Holes
larger than 1/4" are filled in a finishing process
called sacking. Minor chipping, water staining, and
non-structural hairline cracks are also traditional
characteristics of cast stone. As with natural stone,
colour will vary on individual orders and among
individual pieces in the same order. As cast stone
ages, colour may lighten or darken according to specific field or storage conditions such as humidity,
temperature and exposure to sunlight. The
Authorized Purchaser is expressly reminded to refer
to the ARCHITECTURAL RESOURCE CATALOG,
