Q. What are Jcwonderful Slab Stone products ?

Q. How are Jcwonderful Slab Stone products made?
A. JCW series stone products are cast in molds taken from carefully-selected natural stone, using a process that faithfully captures even the faintest detail. Each color and texture uses its own blend of Portland cement, lightweight natural aggregates and iron oxide pigments. Even on close examination, these manufactured stones look and feel just like the originals.

Q. Will Jcwonderful Slab Stone products fade?
Just as natural stone, JCW series products will experience normal weathering during the life of the installation, no different than any other cement based material. See actual printed warranty for details.
Q. Does the color go all the way through?
A. Base color is blended throughout the entire product. Color overtones are applied and integrated into the product during the casting process.
Q. Will the same stone appear repeatedly in a typical application?
A. JCW series products are cast from thousands of individual molds essentially eliminating repetition. In addition, to further eliminate the possibility of repetition, no two stones are ever reproduced with the exact same coloring.
Q. How long will Jcwonderful Slab Stone products last and are they warranted?
A. As JCW series products are a lightweight concrete material, they typically last as long as any quality concrete or masonry material such as concrete block, brick etc. Cultured Stone® products carry a 50 year limited warranty. See actual printed warranty for details.
Q. What kind of surface is necessary in order to use Jcwonderful Slab Stone products?
A. JCW series products may be applied over most properly prepared, clean, untreated, structurally sound wall surfaces such as wood, wallboard, masonry or metal.
Q. Can Jcwonderful Slab Stone products be used on both exterior and interior applications?
A. Yes. JCW series products are suitable for both, and allow you to bring the outdoors inside, emphasizing design and continuity in color and texture.
Q. Will Jcwonderful Slab Stone products stain if my fireplace smokes?
A. Possibly, just as natural stone or brick will stain. Sealing the JCW series products around a fireplace with a silane based breathable masonry sealer will assist in the removal of smoke stains should they occur. Smoke stains can often be removed by following cleaning instructions given in the JCW series Installation Instructions.
Q. Can Jcwonderful Slab Stone products be used on wall areas adjacent to swimming pools?
A. From a durability standpoint, JCW series products will perform the same as any quality lightweight concrete material. However, it should be noted that, as with any concrete or natural material, continued exposure to chlorine and other chemicals may eventually affect coloration. When frequently exposed to water, we recommend protection with a silane based non-film forming breather-type masonry sealer.
Q. Is any maintenance required?
A. Occasional washing to remove surface dust and dirt is all that is required. JCW series products are virtually maintenance free. Never use any harsh detergents or chemicals on JCW series products.
