Decorative stone façades and plinths

We have been developing this service since the company's earliest years. We developed a technique of architectural concrete stone carved directly on the wall: instead of sticking on ready-made tiles, we create a monolithic layer on site in which every stone, joint and fracture is made by hand. As a result the pattern never repeats, and the cladding wraps seamlessly around corners, arches, bay windows, steps and unusual details.

We create complete façades from plinth to window details, plinths alone (the most exposed part of a façade), columns, pilasters, bay windows, entrance portals, window and door surrounds, and cladding for outbuildings and fences in the same style. Different characters are available: rubble stone, flagstone, brick, a combination of stone and brick, and for themed projects also faux timber and half-timbering.

We have used this technique on private houses, a small hotel, pharmacies, a petrol station shop, a shopping centre, a canteen and an administrative building. Themed façades for parks and commercial venues are described separately on the Façades and architectural features page. We work from the architect's design, photos of the existing building or our own proposal; before covering the whole wall we can prepare a texture and colour sample.

We choose the technology according to the substrate, insulation, weather exposure and use. Before starting we assess the condition of the wall and agree with the client on substrate preparation and water drainage, as the durability of any façade depends on them. The surface is finished with multi-layer painting and patina and finally protected with a coating suited to outdoor conditions.
