Stone-Coat Lightweight stone mouldings are widely used in modern construction to replicate the appearance of natural or cast stone without the structural weight. Because Stone-Coat is manufactured from high-density EPS polystyrene with a durable stone coating, it provides the same architectural finish while being significantly easier to handle and install on site.
This makes Stone-Coat lightweight stone an ideal solution for new builds, refurbishment projects and developments where traditional stonework would be too heavy or impractical.
Stone-Coat Lightweight Stone is an architectural moulding material designed to replicate traditional stone detailing without the structural weight of natural or cast stone.
Stone-Coat lightweight stone is manufactured using high density EPS 300 and sealed with a durable textured coating that recreates the appearance of real stonework while remaining significantly lighter and easier to install.
Because of this, lightweight stone is commonly used for architectural features such as window surrounds, cornices, coping stones, cills and decorative façade elements.

Traditional stone mouldings require lifting equipment and structural support. Lightweight stone mouldings can typically be installed by a small team without specialist lifting equipment.
Despite being lightweight, our lightweight stone mouldings are designed for long-term durability in external environments. Each piece is sealed with a tough protective coating that helps resist moisture and UV exposure.
Traditional stone can add significant structural load to a building, making it difficult to install in certain locations. Lightweight stone mouldings provide a practical alternative for areas where weight restrictions apply, such as upper storeys, façade detailing, or retrofit projects.
Stone-Coat lightweight stone requires minimal maintenance once installed. The protective coating helps prevent moisture penetration and surface deterioration, meaning the mouldings maintain their appearance with very little upkeep.
To ensure a seamless finish, Stone-Coat lightweight stone mouldings can be colour matched to existing stonework, brickwork, or render. This allows new architectural features to blend naturally with the surrounding façade, making them ideal for refurbishment projects or extensions.
These advantages make lightweight stone mouldings an ideal choice for architects, developers, and contractors who want the visual impact of traditional stone detailing without the installation challenges or structural weight.
