Portico Creates Inspiring Entrance

Building a portico is one of the most effective ways of creating an inspiring entrance into the house.  Cast-stone specialist Haddonstone, produces a range of cast stone porticos and door surrounds that are suitable for traditional, classical and even contemporary homes.

Made from crushed limestone and with a surface texture similar to natural stone, the cast stone portico components include classical capitals, dentilled cornices, curved entablature and balustrading. The cast stone is available in different colours, so finding a suitable contrast to brick or other commonly used building materials is easy.

Since cast stone weathers more quickly than natural stone, the portico will develop a patina in just a couple of years and will soon blend in with existing stonework on traditional or period buildings.

Available in five different designs, a typical cast stone portico costs around £2500.00. For more information visit www.haddonstone.co.uk.
