Cast stone features have the power to elevate the overall appearance of a property. With their ability to mimic the beauty and texture of natural stone at a lower cost, cast stone elements offer a versatile and cost-effective way to enhance your home's appeal and create a lasting impression. Read on to learn how to choose a cast stone feature for your property, ensuring that it perfectly suits your building.
Functional vs. Decorative
When selecting a feature for your property, you will need to decide whether your cast stone feature should be functional or decorative. Functional options can be used to support other features of a property, from balconies to decorative stonework, making them worthwhile for many homes. Functional cast stone features typically include columns, porticos, balustrades and quoins.
Decorative options, on the other hand, can include signs and garden ornaments, which can help to add elegance to a property and improve a property’s overall appeal. The appearance of a home is important, as it can make the space more enjoyable for the household, as well as provide an outlet for personal style.
Colours and Textures
There are different colours and textures of cast stone to choose from. Cast stone colours can include various greys, reds and beiges, making it easy to find a colour that will either stand out or fit in with your building’s overall appearance. When choosing a cast stone supplier, it’s worth exploring all of their available cast stone colours.
Size and Scale
The size of a property is often important to consider if you’re looking to install a cast stone feature in your property. For small buildings, for example, large and commanding window heads might look out of place and disproportionate. Opting for smaller, more delicate features that complement the scale of the building can therefore often be better for small buildings. A professional cast stonework company can offer you perfectly sized cast stone features.
