Balustrading Brochure
QUALITY ARCHITECTURAL CAST STONE Balustrading has been used for centuries and can be seen today on many of our fine traditional heritage buildings. The increasing awareness of classical design and aesthetic architecture has led to a resurgance of demand for a product that can be used to great effect in almost any decorative setting. The Mexboro range of elegant, hand crafted balustrades has been based on traditional design and is used regularly for restoration, refurbishment and new build. The four styles - F l e u r d e L y s , S a n d r i n g h am, Heritage and Windsor are manufactured by skilled craftsmen in a variety of natural crushed aggregates giving an authentic final look to the components, with the subtle shade variations of quarried and finished stone. The Company's own crushing plant can produce a stone dust which when incorporated into the mix produces a finish that is virtually indistinguishable from that of quarried stone and at a fraction of the cost. Mexboro's standard colour range includes Bath, P ort l an d , W e at h e re d C ot s w ol d , York s t on e , Re d San ds t on e and Hams t on e . A limitless number of colour variations and textures can also be achieved to ensure a product that will harmonise easily with other building fabrics and their surroundings. Other textures and finishes available include wet cast, acid etch, exposed aggregate, grit blast, bush hammer and polishing to simulate marble. Mexboro prides itself in undertaking the custom made designs of the specifier and the most detailed and intricate designs can be achieved in our pattern and mould making departments.
