For the past 32 years, Revelstone has been the market leader in the cast stone industry. The company specialises in manufacturing and designing an extensive range of products that replicate the appearance and texture of natural stone and incorporating quality manufacturing techniques that ensure its products’ also remain durable and exceed the toughest performance requirements.
Revelstone director, Alex Cyprianos, says the manufacturing process is a labour of love with each product being meticulously cast from original stone masters – the patented rubber moulds ensure an authentic aesthetic that meets the highest standards in architectural and landscape design. It is further distinguished through the use of 100% recyclable Revel Rubber moulds and cutting-edge nanotechnology, which enhances the longevity and appearance of its products.
Not surprisingly the company walked away with an armful of awards at the recent 2024 CMA Digital Awards for Excellence. The company not only secured a coveted Trophy for Aesthetic Excellence for its Cobble project at the Erinvale Estate Hotel but also received multiple awards for projects at SACS High School, Erinvale Estate Hotel and Spa (Wet Cast Stone) and Seaside Village (Paving) the Beauty for Life Award.
Revelstone has been a committed participant in the CMA Awards since its inception, consistently supporting the initiative to celebrate excellence in the concrete manufacturing industry. Alex says the significance of this year’s win is tremendous, “We have always valued the CMA Awards as a platform that acknowledges outstanding work in our industry. Winning these awards is not just a reflection of our products but also the dedication and expertise of our team. It is incredibly rewarding to see our efforts recognised on such a prestigious stage.”
This is not the first time the company has won big at the event. Having secured multiple awards for a number of other projects in previous years, the company upholds a fine tradition of excellence and every application of cast stone in the built environment is treated with the same level of expertise and enthusiasm.
The winning projects, Erinvale Estate Hotel, SACS High School and Seaside Village, each stood out for their innovative design, aesthetic excellence and seamless integration into their respective environments. While the final selection rests in the hands of the judges, Revelstone believes that the diversity of these projects and their creative use of concrete played a significant role in their recognition.
“Each project had its own distinctive challenges and characteristics. The Erinvale Estate Hotel’s cladding project exuded timeless elegance, SACS High School’s application showcased versatility and durability and the Seaside Village paving project reflected how our products can be adapted to diverse environments. These projects, among others, demonstrate the immense potential of cast stone in architectural design,” says Alex.
While Revelstone is responsible for the design and manufacturing of its products, the on-site execution relies on contractors and installation teams. This collaboration ensures that the final product exceeds expectations. By providing high-quality, precision-engineered cast stone Revelstone wants to empower architects and designers to realise their visions with confidence.
The company’s success is underpinned by a strong, skilled team. With over 100 permanent employees which is scaled up to 130 during peak season. It operates a fully self-sufficient manufacturing facility in Cape Town. The entire process, from product design and mould production to casting and delivery is managed in-house ensuring strict quality control and consistency.
“For the Revelstone team, winning multiple awards at the CMA Digital Awards for Excellence is a powerful affirmation of their hard work and dedication. “These awards belong to every member of our team. Seeing our products enhance beautiful homes and commercial developments brings a real sense of pride and accomplishment. It reaffirms the importance of what we do and our ongoing commitment to quality and innovation.”
Over three decades, Revelstone products have proven their durability, aesthetic appeal and design excellence. Architects and designers continue to specify these products due to their superior quality, longevity and ability to blend seamlessly into diverse architectural styles. The company’s focus on innovation also ensures that its offerings remain new and fresh.
According to Alex the best is still to come with significant strides being made by the company towards sustainability. The company is in the process of developing a Green Concrete option, which incorporates recycled and reconstituted materials to reduce plastic waste in landfills. This initiative will soon be available across all product lines and will further cement Revelstone’s commitment to environmental responsibility.
“Winning these prestigious awards underscores our industry leadership position in the industry and shows that our dedication to continuous improvement ultimately pays-off. Our legacy is built on quality, craftsmanship and innovation and that is the overarching reason for our continued success – now and in the future.”
