Pre-cast Concrete vs Brick and Stone
Though brick or stone may match your architectural style, both are labor intensive, laying each one by hand. Since there is so much rain and humidity in Central Florida, they need to be periodically treated, so all the moisture doesn’t harm the fence.
Verti-Crete advanced technology creates a fence more durable than brick and natural stone. Since there isn’t any mortar with pre-cast concrete, water, dirt and insects cannot make their way into the joints, disturbing the bonding process.
Today’s advanced vertical mold technology allows pre-cast concrete to have the same look as brick and stone. They can match the existing architectural look with the design on both sides, but you don’t have to worry about bricks cracking, structural problems, maintenance or a high price tag.
