Lintel
Natural stone lintels are commonly used in residential, commercial and historical buildings, typically for the purpose of bearing the weight of the structure above and as a decorative feature that enhances the appeal of the building. A lintel is a decorative, horizontal stone element found over portals, doors, windows and fireplaces that provides structural support and integrity to architectural features.
Doors and Windows
Stone lintels provide both support and aesthetics to door and window openings, contributing to the overall style of a home. In commercial buildings, stone lintels are often used above large windows and entryways to combine functionality with beauty, creating an inviting and professional facade.
Fireplaces
In fireplaces, stone lintels provide structural support while also adding to the aesthetic appeal, often becoming a focal point of the room.
Garden Walls, Arcades and Walkways
Stone lintels can be used in garden walls and entrance ways to create an inviting look. In commercial developments, stone lintels can be used in arcades and walkways to provide structural support and create a cohesive theme to the place.
Facade Enhancements
