Durability (FauxCrete™
Posts compared to other types)
Fiberglass/Epoxy/F.R.C.
posts
are lightweight which makes them easy to handle and install, cheap to make
and usually comes out of molds so labor cost is cut drastically. Usually
there are no issues with these type of posts but these posts are prone to
extensive damages when struck by any hard moving object. Usually
un-repairable damage occurs costing you a lot more money in the long run.
Natural Granite posts are beautiful and are
durable to an extent. Granite has a very high compression strength but are
VERY weak when it comes to tensile strength. This means a simple single
swing from a 8lb sledge hammer can turn a once beautiful 6’ post into 2 or
more pieces which are un-repairable. While working at a granite dealer years
ago, I quickly learned how brittle granite really is and started to walk
away from anything other than steps.
Cultured concrete rock posts are constructed
monolithically with internal aggregates, reinforcement and admixtures. This
means you have very high compression and tensile strength. There are no
rocks to become loose, no tuck pointing required.
Our
posts are resistant to UV, cracking, fading, chipping and efflorescence.
Our
posts can not rot, deteriorate or fall apart over time.
Customization.
These posts can be customized to your specific needs very
easily. There are many different types of earth tone colors, textures and
rock patterns to choose from.
Cleanliness.
These posts stay looking clean and are very
easy to rinse off when you feel they look dirty. No need for high pressure
washing or tough chemicals. You can rinse with a garden hose very easily.
These posts will not discolor over time like clean natural rock can.
We have 4 different post designs
