CASTONE - composite panel cladding / prepared for Canada Mortgage & Housing Corporation by Castone Industries Inc.: NH17-190/1994E-PDF
"Our market research has found that homeowners in Canada and the United States are quite restricted in the finishing systems used on their homes. As brick and stone are typically too expensive for use on low to middle income housing, builders opt instead for cheaper vinyl and aluminium sidings. Few homeowners ever acknowledge vinyl or aluminium as positive attributes of their homes. CASTONE is an ideal alternative. It provides architects, builders and ultimately homeowners with an exciting, new and aesthetically pleasing surface which is maintenance free. CASTONE's ease of installation negates the need for expensive and increasingly rare brick layers and stone masons, thus cutting building costs. CASTONE also avoids the use of environmentally restricted materials such as wood. We feel that the low to middle-income housing market would greatly benefit from these features"--Exec. Summary, p. 6.
