Sandstone Capping Supplies At Gosford Quarries MelbournE

Regarded as a product to ‘finish’ or ‘complete’ a design incorporating sandstone product, Sandstone Capping is used as a formal top surface of sandstone walls. In industry and within architectural circles, this is known as the ‘formal dressing’ of sandstone walls.  Capping amalgamates a sandstone walling design with a rounded, cohesive visual appeal.

The use of different types of sandstone wall capping and pier capping can add a grandiose, powerful statement to sandstone columns and piers impressing and wowing those arriving at your residence or commercial property.

Why Use Sandstone Capping?

Sandstone Capping can be utilised to execute a more traditional or ‘heritage’ design of sandstone walling and sandstone iers or sandstone columns.  It can also be utilised to execute a more contemporary, modern look to a design. It is in the specification of sandstone capping that determines the look, aesthetic and function to design.

There is also a more crucial, functional reason to use sandstone capping.  Sandstone capping protects sandstone walls, sandstone piers and sandstone columns from exposure to rain, like a natural rock umbrella.  The sheer weight of sandstone capping also lends itself to improving structural integrity, especially in external applications where there are sandstone walling structures involved.

When installed by a trained and qualified installer such as a stonemason, capping becomes another structural element ensuring that your sandstone walls, sandstone piers or sandstone columns can withstand the tests of time.
