At Build-Lite, we believe that great design should never be compromised by the limitations of traditional materials. That’s why our Stone-Coat lightweight stone surrounds are engineered to deliver all the beauty and prestige of natural stone—without the weight.
For centuries, natural or cast stone has been the material of choice for framing windows and doors in classical and contemporary architecture. However, stone’s weight, fragility, and installation demands have made it less practical for today’s fast moving construction environments.
Build-Lite’s Stone-Coat range changes that. Using a high-density EPS core finished with our Stone-Coat coating, our surrounds replicate the look and texture of real stone while being up to 90% lighter. The result? An elegant, durable surround that’s easy to install, cost-effective, and built to last.
Our surrounds don’t require specialist lifting equipment or structural reinforcements. This makes them ideal for retrofitting, EWI systems, and new builds alike—especially in projects where traditional stone simply isn’t viable.
With our off-site manufacturing and custom profile service, you’ll reduce on-site time and avoid delays. Our surrounds arrive ready to install, even after render, helping you keep your project on track and on budget.
Whether you’re matching period details or designing something unique, Build-Lite offers a full range of surrounds. We can replicate just about any size, shape, or colour, giving you complete design freedom without the expense of bespoke stone carving.
Stone-Coat is fully compatible with all building types, including external wall insulation (EWI) systems, helping improve your building’s energy efficiency without sacrificing style.
Build-Lite’s lightweight stone surrounds are already enhancing homes, commercial properties, and developments across the UK. Whether you’re working on a large-scale project or a one-off feature, we’ll help you achieve the premium stone look—faster, safer, and smarter.
