Too many new things

HI Everybody, you see the pictures up above?

Well, time flies as we all know and 2009 is coming to an end. So I thought I would look back a little and share some new products Arto is making in an informal way.
Up above you see some pictures that I will describe  from top to bottom
. If there are any questions about anything just call our office 310 768 8500 and ask for me , Vod.
WAll behind grass and flowers- well Arto is very proud to produce unique and exclusive designs for the Forest LAwn family of cemeteries. One of the items is a unique wall assembly using split concrete block with 6 different sizes.

6x6x2 Roman Paver-yes that is right 6x6x2 Roman paver with all the Roman goodness inside. Also available in 1" thickness and all the traditional Roman trimmings for your holiday feast.

California Paver 3x18x4- this is a great paver that can be used in almost any application. Great for commercial or residential designs that want a narrow modular appearance. These in the picture also have a heavy sandblast finish.

Wall Fountain- you see the lion, yeah thats our Lion#2 with PC-5 moulding around it and Roman/Italian curbings used for the basin surround. These are not new, we have been making them for over twenty years and have many more Lion Heads and Mouldings to choose from.

VAn Gogh's Ear- a very cool and unique shape and size. Measuring about 16 inches in length it is meant to be spaced in a random manner and filled and accented with either stone or glass. I have heard some clients fill it with other Arto colors too!

Roman Rounds-available in 12",18" and 24" & 2" thick for a sand set installation method. These circles are classic precast items brought back to life with Arto's wide variety of colors and textures. It reminds me of one restaurant job we did a FEW YEARS AGO-NOTHING BUT CIRcles. We looked at everything around the factory for round objects that we can use as a mold and we found a ton. So the floor was covered in circles from 3" to 24"

MAgic Mushroom- also known as the anchor, the scallop or the seashell. Honestly the title is undecided, I prefer the mushroom.

New Green Blend- a nice gal from the good 'ol San Fernando Valley wanted her kitchen floor to match a picture she had from a 1960's Sunset magazine. Well Arto has been in many Sunset magazine stories from the beginning, this was not one of them though.  So we made a few shades of green with a few different textures. She of course just choose one but when we laid them all out we thought it look great so we made a few display boards and here is the one exclusive picture. Its many shades of green with Charcoal accents with all the vintage textures.

Exposed aggregate-  whats the big deal? concrete has been made with exposed aggregate for generations. Well the big deal is now you can get it with the combination of Arto colors. Also think about the possibilities with other types of aggregates; black pebbles on green concrete, glass on a black concrete, white stone on a brown concrete. You're the designer we just make your ideas possible.

12x24 Stripes- this was made for my good friend Greg. He has a customer who was bringing huge 4'x8' sheets of stone from Hungary that has these characteristics and we reproduced it for him.


In Conclusion: Arto makes new products and colors everyday-Yes everyday-let us see if I can keep all you nice folks updated. If there is something that you are imagining just let me know and we can make some concrete harmony!!
Hey thanks for your time.
