Important information
Cast finish
To ensure your castings are of the highest quality they are cleaned by a bead blasting process, which removes oxides and surface contamination. This process guarantees that upon visual inspection we are able to easily detect any faults. As a result we deliver you a high quality product with a clean skin ready for fi nal fi nishing. The sprues are trimmed as close as practical to the piece avoiding distortion damage and ensuring you receive only the metal you require.
Customers’ own metal
You can supply us with your own alloy if you prefer. We will cast the tree for you and return it to you bead blasted (cleaned) and intact. When casting in your alloy we are unable to offer the same quality guarantee that naturally comes with our own metals however, we will provide you with the same quality service, employing all our skills and technology available so you receive the best possible results.

Mould library
Customers are invited to store their moulds with us in our mould library. There are no storage costs for this service. Having moulds stored in the Peter W Beck mould library will speed up delivery times of castings ordered. Moulds stored are kept securely and are tracked with a unique code given to each mould.
