Become a distributor
Sell something real. Five finishes made out of crushed limestone and marble, and the two liquids that complete them, manufactured in the United States.
Arcusstone sells only through distributors. Architects, designers and homeowners who want the finish are pointed to a distributor near the project. Its distributors today are in the United States, Canada and Vietnam.

Trained applicators
The bagged finishes are installed exclusively by trained applicators — so the finish your customers see is done right.
The basic application is essentially the same as other trowelled plasters. The finishing is not — and the skilled applicator is the most important component of a good job.
Hands-on workshops are scheduled as needed for those who want to become trained applicators.
The architectural specification asks for installers who have attended the manufacturer's basic installation session and completed at least two projects of similar size and scope, and for a 4 ft × 4 ft mockup accepted before work starts.
