BALUSTRADES

BALUSTRADES

A traditional balustrade is a timeless architectural compilation which adds sophistication to any exterior or interior setting. Balustrades can be used to create a dramatic spiral stairway, an elegant balcony, or to delineate a courtyard or garden terrace from a lawn.

 

A stone balustrade is comprised of a top rail, balusters, and bottom rail; which is received by cast stone piers or newel posts. There are numerous design options available to enrich your balustrade’s flair. For example, balusters can be custom made to emphasize or contrast other features in a home or building; piers can be accented with decorative inlay panels and adorned with ball finials or urns.

 

A less formal and more decorative alternate to balustrading, parapet screening provides an exceptional solution. Cast stone parapet screening typically uses a repeating quatrefoil pattern, which can be embellished by our sculptors with a high relief.
