VERTASTONE
One Day Wall System
SPECCO Industries Vertastone™ One Day Wall System is an easy to use three-component series of admixtures and surface treatments which can be added to regular low slump concrete to provide a free form stackable, slow setting concrete that can be carved, stamped, or formed to simulate realistic stonework.
3 STEP SYSTEM BENEFITS:
- Allows placement of free-standing walls without additional formwork or support structures.
- Walls can be carved, stamped and stained to mimic realistic natural stone formations.
- Pouring form free allows great labor savings to traditional cast retaining walls
- Cast walls will be monolithic in structure and more resistant to any movement or blowout than walls made of individual cmu’s (cast masonry block units) or by use of actual stones.
- Walls can be customized and colorized to match or enhance the natural surroundings or buildings
COMPONENT A
WALL AID
Component A “Wall Aid” is a modified mid-range plasticizing admixture which allows higher early strength formation of the concrete by reducing water demand by approx. 15-20%
COMPONENT B
SLOW SET
Component B, “Slow Set” is a viscosity modifying, set retarding admixture which provides added rheology (thickness) of the mix to allow concrete stacking without form support, as well as extending final set times to allow the primary carving of the surface.
COMPONENT C
EASY SLICK
Component C, “Easy Slick” is a topically applied surface finishing treatment which extends tooling time and allows delayed hydration at the surface for final stamping and texturizing needs.
COLOR
STONE TRANSITIONS
Stone Transitions “Natural Series” Stains are water-based, breathable, semi-transparent formulations designed to color concrete and masonry structures, while retaining both the texture and the natural characteristics of the surface.
Stone Transitions “Natural Series” Stains pigment-only based formulations exhibit high resistance to fading from sunlight. They contain minimal amounts of volatile petroleum solvents and do not exhibit any objectionable odors, making them safe to use in enclosed areas.
