Types and Uses
Stone has been used in architecture for centuries. It is timeless and can add beauty to everything from a gothic listed building to a modern apartment.
The craft of stonemasonry has been used to create many famous landmark buildings, monuments and structures. Stone is still much in demand to add decorative features to buildings such as arches, porticos, door and window surrounds, facades and columns. Stone is by its nature suited to use outdoors. Stone steps and balustrades add status to a property, along with sculptures.
Experts in architectural stonework offer services for new builds and restoration projects. Many work with both real stone and reconstituted stone.
