Cast Stone Balustrade / Balustrades / Balustrading
Shepton Classic Stone has its production facilities situated in the south west of England and therefore has a competitive edge when it comes to the cost of producing cast stone products. Even people who are located in London and have a reasonably large disposable income obviously do not want to spend more then they need to, and cast stone balustrade is just one example where people are tending to search further afield these days in order to find the best price for a good quality product, whether its cast stone or any other product.
Since Shepton Classic Stone has become more visible via the internet, we have had enquiries from many parts of the world including, the USA i.e. Washington, New York, California etc. parts of Europe - France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Ireland, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland, also - Australia, Japan, South Africa, Brazil, India, Pakistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Dubai etc.
At present we are a small cast stone business just supplying the UK. Who knows what the future holds though ?

UK BUILDING REGULATIONS FOR CLASSIC CAST STONE BALUSTER SPACING.

If the balustrade that you are planning needs to meet current UK building regulations, i.e. the 100mm sphere rule, the balusters will need to be closer than the traditional 12 inch centres and you will also need to use spacer rods in order to meet this 100mm gap rule. Classic teardrop balusters will not meet the current UK building regulations without the use of spacer rods / bars.

We have found that although the use of spacer rods / bars is unavoidable in order to meet current UK building regulations, if spacer rods / bars are painted black before they are installed, they are not visible to a casual observer or passer-by. The eye is drawn to the classic teardrop shape of the balusters, and the overall look of the stone balustrade, rather than the black spacer rods / bars.

Although Shepton Classic Stone is based in the South West of England, we do have many customers from most parts of the UK including - Nottingham, Birmingham and the West Midlands, Bristol and Bath, Yeovil, Wells, Glastonbury, Street, Taunton, Bridgwater, Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Gloucestershire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Sheffield, Kent, West Sussex, Bournemouth, Staffordshire, Shropshire, Coventry, London, Hampshire, Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Warwickshire, Surrey, Wiltshire and Swindon many parts of Wales, and even as far afield as Leeds and Scotland.

What this demonstrates is, that people are prepared to travel to buy a good quality product that is sold at a good price.

Classic Cast Stone Balustrade - the pinnacle of stonework.

It is generally thought that hand-made cast stone balustrade or balustrading or balustrades, whatever you like to call, it is the sort of thing that a wealthy landowner who perhaps resides in a large stately home or mansion would consider. would it look totally out of place at a property of more normal dimensions ?
Obviously it is easier to go over the top when making this type of addition to a smaller dwelling. Too much of anything can totally dominate and completely change the look of any property.
Having said that, when a small amount of balustrade is used to make a decorative feature out of the main entrance of even a quite ordinary home, balustrade can add that extra bit of class to what may have been a quite normal doorway. It adds that bit of character that perhaps was missing in the original design.
If the said property has a boundary wall of a suitable structure and size, this can have a run of balustrade added to the top without great expenditure and could be finished with urns or finials on top of the balustrade piers. Using simple ideas and a few items of ornamental garden stoneware you can give your home a classic look that anyone would be proud of.
Although there are many different designs of stone balustrade, Shepton Classic Stone just sticks to making the one design, a Classic Tudor Balustrade that has the classic tear drop baluster, that gives it the look that most people seek.
