| Complete stone-making project kits  Now quality handmade stone and tile is easily within reach of any homeowner. Olde World Stone and Tile Do-it-Yourself project kits contain everything necessary to craft quality stone tiles. Why pay stone dealers to transport needed stone to a project site? Olde World Stonemaking kits remove the friction of distance from stone, enabling anyone to build gorgeous stone accents. These new kits are packed with everything needed to make quality stone, except for water and cement. "Our customers make custom-colored tile for less than twenty-eight cents a square foot. And custom stone veneer is made for about fifty-cents a square foot, depending on the thickness needed. What they used to pay a distributor just for shipping in a square foot of stone, now pays for the materials to make the stone themselves," said John Panagos, President of Olde World Enterprises. Stone and tile décor is a striking, beautiful addition to any property. Olde World Stone and Tile is a pioneer of a newer, cheaper way to mold tiles. Plastic molds are lighter and easier to make than traditional, complex handmade latex rubber molds. Panagos said, "Plastic molds are an excellent and inexpensive alternative to high cost latex rubber molds. Rubber molds are designed and priced mainly for high-volume commercial production of the same item over and over. If you need thousands of a single design, style, texture, or size, you should consider the extra initial cost of a rubber mold. For items like bricks, pavers, stone veneer and tiles, our ABS plastic mold is the most economical path to take. Their low initial cost and high yield per mold make them your best choice." Through their online retail store, TheMoldStore.com, and through other popular online retail outlets such as eBay, Amazon.com, Bonanzle, eBid, Olde World Stone and Tile plastic molds are easily available to anyone. Contractors and gardeners can broaden their offerings to include custom-made stone accents. Any homeowner can easily make bricks perfect for any purpose. In addition, any budding entrepreneur can use the molds as the basis for a profitable business supplying a big variety of custom-crafted stone. "Since there are many homeowners, landscapers, and builders who need these products right away for their projects, there is a desperate need for small local companies in all areas of the country to manufacture products to fill these needs," said Panagos. "There might be concrete steppingstones available in most local markets around the country, but quality concrete building products are usually shipped in from outside, adding to their cost. Try finding pink Ledgestone or bricks locally--or mauve patio or driveway pavers in most areas across the US. Independent producers can fill the void by providing products quickly and locally. It's an inexpensive, easy to start and lucrative business." write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Construction News :: home page |
