CASTING CALL Made from crushed travertine, ultra-light precast stone rangehoods allow designers to incorporate attractive classic designs more easily than with concrete or other cast stone hoods. A fraction of the weight of traditional cast stone models, these hoods are designed for use over 36- to 60-inch ranges and will accommodate most vent blowers. The 5-inch-high border can be detailed with mosaics or decorative molding, and the nonporous surface can be faux-finished.

STAINLESS STONE A new option for the maker's concrete countertops, sinks, and tiles is permanent metal plating in a dazzling variety of finishes. The MetalCrete designs offer the feel of solid stone, because they are — solid concrete fixed with a genuine metal finish. Choose from real copper, nickel, brass, bronze, or steel. For a truly unique look, ask for the plating to be applied only to the sink's interior. A nickel-finish tile is shown.
