STONE COLOR SELECTION, MATCHING

The AAS team can create a good color match for a project of any size.

AAS offers customers the option to select from the palette of standard colors or match the stone color to a control sample.

For the standard colors, AAS submits to the customer a box of samples for every project. Once a customer approves a specific color, the project team will use a pre-defined admixture to reproduce that color consistently and precisely.

When a customer provides an existing control sample to match the color, the AAS team uses in-house experts to develop trial samples. After confirming the look and finish on the custom-color stone sample, AAS submits the piece to the customer for approval. Once the customer approves the sample submittal, the color lab technician records the sample number and specific admixture details. AAS uses the computerized batch plant to combine the admixture components precisely, enabling a consistent look and finish for any size project.

When required, AAS develops a mock-up, a miniature wall assembly that shows the combination of cast stone, brick, mortar, stucco, windows, etc. The team works closely with the customers to show different design elements combine to achieve the design objectives.

The AAS project team members can also provide recommendations for color and finish, simplifying the design and planning in the early phase of the project.
