Stone decorative elements for facing the facades and interiors are perfectly combined with stone finishing of marble, dolomite and limestone and also with facades of bricks, wood, plastering and other materials. The building which facades are made of natural stone with the usage of rustic joints, platbands and other decorative stone elements looks stylistically finished, successfully emphasizes an exquisite taste of the owner and also indicates his social status.
The main kinds of decorative facade elements
Pillars. The most ancient and magnificent finishing element. Pillars consisting of stem, capillary and pedestal visually enlarge height of a building and become a peculiar space separator into zones. With their help one can create an exterior of the building in classic or antique style.
Cornices. They usually divide a roof and wall plane. Patterned hanging cornices from stone serve not only a beautiful element of classic decoration but also a protection from atmospheric precipitation.
Rustic joints. They serve as a decoration of house’s corners: stone tiles of one or different sizes and textures are laid out in both planes. Thus the massiveness of walls is emphasized and a reliable protection of corners from environmental factors is created. Rustic joints are the special appeal of classic style in architecture.
Pilasters. They are represented to be a conventional representation of pillars as a ledge on the wall. More often pilasters of stone relating to architectural styles of the Renaissance, baroque and classicism are located to both sides off the windows and the doors.
Balusters. Along with stairs and handrails they are part of the stairs. Beautiful carved balusters give openwork and airiness to the image of the house. If you plan to install balusters on the balcony fence it’s necessary to abide by their architectural unity.
Platbands. Quite widespread element of the facade finishing is principally in classic style. Platbands of stone serve an effective framing of window embrasure of 17-18th century style.
