ANCHOR WALL SYSTEMS OFFERS A NEW, NATURAL-STONE LOOKING CHOICE FOR SEGMENTAL RETAINING WALL PROJECTS
Next generation product creates look of natural stone

MINNEAPOLIS – (October, 2003) – Anchor Wall Systems introduces the new Anchor Diamond Pro™ Stone Cut, the next generation product from Anchor Wall Systems. The Anchor Diamond Pro™ Stone Cut is the result of a proprietary process that Anchor Wall Systems has developed to achieve a “tumbled” look. This process can be achieved online, which means there are no additional steps during the production process to achieve this highly desirable look.

Suitable for a variety of commercial and municipal projects, The Anchor product is the only product that features the popular, easy-to-use rear-lip for accurate, fast installation and a structurally sound design. Other “tumbled” systems utilize pins or locators for alignment.

"Natural stone has always been a look that many people appreciate, but stone is costly and difficult to design and build with," says Michael Petersen of Anchor Wall Systems. "We've taken the affordability and easy-to-install performance characteristics popular with our traditional concrete retaining wall products and transformed them into a new retaining wall system that provides a natural look."

WALLS WITH EYE APPEAL
Diamond Pro Stone Cut blocks feature a face style and rounded corners that give a weathered, natural stone look. The natural-looking block face is highlighted with the use of multiple colors to create a unique effect that replicates closely what Mother Nature produces. "No two Diamond Pro Stone Cut blocks are alike, which gives the wall a much more natural look," explains Petersen.

The Diamond Pro product in a “Crunch” or tumbled look combines the beautiful look of natural stone with the stability, strength and ease of use that are the hallmarks of Anchor Diamond Pro.

The natural look and rich color makes Anchor Diamond Pro Stone Cut the perfect choice for commercial developments, municipalities, and residential applications.

Less expensive than natural stone, Diamond Pro Stone Cut walls are natural looking with the superior engineering stability of an Anchor retaining wall system.

EASY INSTALLATION
Diamond Pro Stone Cut is a retaining wall system that creates extra interest and adds to the natural look of the wall. While other natural-looking wall products can have difficult installation patterns, the Diamond Pro Stone Cut system is simple and easy to follow, making the building process quicker and less expensive.

Dimensions and Weights
The natural look and rich color makes Diamond Pro Stone Cut the perfect choice for large residential applications, commercial developments and public spaces.
