Architectural Foam Products
Pinellas Cast Stone has been providing builders and home owners with high quality concrete construction items for over 42 years.
In order to keep up with the ever growing construction field we have added expanded polystyrene to our product line. Many builders have discovered the benefits of using EPS Foam Products along with our concrete products.
Foam products are used for the Architectural Enhancement of a building. It is not designed for structural use or to be placed in high traffic areas of the home. It is lightweight and easily installed. It can be cut to size,and mitered without special tools or equiptment,or if you prefer we can cut it to size for you. It does not attract pests like termites or rodents, it offers no source of food to these critters.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION
We use a high quality EPS foam (Expanded Polystyrene) in a standard 1 pound per cubic foot density.
Foam caps may be purchased in one of several ways
RAW FOAM - A lot of contractors like this economical way to dress up their houses. Raw foam comes to you straight off the hotwire machine. Lightweight and easy to install and the base coat and stucco finish are applied at the job site.
COATED FOAM - We hopper three coats of a polymar stucco (slightly course) finish. This coating may be painted with latex masonary paint after completely drying.
DESCRIPTION OF OUR COATING MIXTURE: We use Styrocrete/by Marbelite, a high strength polymer cement mix designed to be used with the Styrocrete Polymer Additive as a coating over architectural Stryrofoam trim moldings, caps etc. The additive is a premium quality bonding resin and we also add an additonal bonding additive (MarFlex Elastomeric) which is a specially formulated polymer blend that produces a good range of elongation and flexibility.
COSTS - Costs are determined by the size of the molding or caps needed. We will be happy to give you a quote for your job.
