While the manufacturing of these "block products" is technically advanced and computer controlled, the critical pattern development stage is done by hand. The finished product is literally "hand cast," preserving a craftsmanship developed over many generations.

No other decorative media combines the creative possibilities of this technique with the usefulness and versatility of plastic sheet materials.

This block process can be used with several different types of material. These include:
