Inspectorjoe Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 This 7 year old house has fairly deep cracks in several cast stone window sills. I'm guessing the cracks will progress over time. I don't know if a suitable repair is possible, or if this would require replacement. I can't find any authoritative info online. Does anybody have any experience with this?

Inspectorjoe Posted June 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 I have that installation guide on my hard drive, but the info I need isn't in it. I didn't see anything at masonryveneer.org, or at caststone.org, for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Kibbel Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 The repair would be the one used for cracks in historic cast stone - low-viscosity epoxy injection. That is, after the cause of the cracks is determined. I read something similar in a publication from (I think) the Cast Stone Institute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Raymond Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 I really like the fact that there is a trade association producing that fine manual, but it lick 'em and stick 'em stone ain't masonry. They really should have chosen a better name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
