As a long-established and well-respected manufacturer of high-quality cast stone, Haddonstone has created some of the most stunning stone structures for inspirational buildings past and present.
Haddonstone has always ensured its diverse range of standard products, as well as its continuous output of bespoke items, are manufactured to exceed industry standards, whilst also respecting the environment. In fact, over 80% of the Building and Construction team’s components are produced bespoke to meet their clients’ precise requirements: involving the unique skillset of Haddonstone’s CAD technicians, craftsmen in their moulds workshop, constant monitoring of the mixes which fill them, and rigorous testing of the finished products. The latter includes water absorption rate, compressive strength and tensile strength, as well as visual inspections and regular independent testing.
Haddonstone was commissioned to produce a large volume of high-quality architectural cast stonework for this stunning Georgian-style new build property in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire.
With the help of Haddonstone’s experienced team’s help, the homeowner client integrated a number of beautiful façade stonework elements to the front elevation of the design. This included a smart portico featuring four smooth columns with Tuscan capital detailing and Juliette balcony to the front, and a further balcony to the rear featuring a balustrade.
Other key cast stone elements included window dressings (surrounds, cills, heads and keystones), cornice and string courses.
Each component was manufactured in Haddonstone’s TecStone (wet-cast limestone) in Portland colour.
To the rear, the outdoor pool area was transformed with the addition of a balustrade which was made-to-order for the project and included balusters, under copings, piers and plinth course. Several Home and Garden designs were integrated into the outdoor landscaping, including a State Vase, pedestals, popular Romanesque Bowls and matching Romanesque Fountain with Pedestal.
Finally, a sleek Haddonstone pool surround added the perfect finishing touch to the driveway in front of the property.
