Stonecrete balustrades are made from a unique mix of white concrete resulting in a natural cream stone frost/weather proof finish.

We put maximum effort into ensuring that all items are made to the best standard.

All Balustrading parts should be fixed together using a strong motar mix (3 part sand to 1 part cement).

In order for the mortar to blend in, please use white cement. This can be purchased at your nearest builders merchant.

It is completely your decision how many of each item you will have and where they will be situated in your Balustrading run. However, here are some popular arrangement ideas:

- Number of Pillars per set
Most of our customers tend to purchase complete sets consisting of 1 Top Rail, 1 Base Rail and either 2 Pillars or 3 Pillars . These two variations of our full set can be found in our Pricing Guide.

- Using End/Corner Pedestals
Your balustrading run will look great when combined with our Pedestal. It should be used at ends, corners and also evenly spaced along any great lengths.

- Large or Small Base Rail
We offer 2 sizes of Base Rail.
Large Base Rail - A wider and slightly higher base rail ( see measurements ) made to sit perfectly on a 2 brick thick stud wall. Let your wall counteract uneven ground and mount your balustrading on top.
Small Base Rail - A thinner and lower base rail ( see measurements ) which is identical to the top. It is more cost effective and perfect if you want to fix directly to a concrete or paving floor.

- Pillar Placement
Depending on the number of pillars and distance between them, it can be good practice to place a pillar at the point where two sets join.

Once constructed and fixed as suggested above, your balustrading run will be very stable and robust.

However, the items in our range do not contain steel rods or any other reinforcements. Therefore, if using above ground level or anywhere which may pose a risk if the balustrading were to move or collapse, we suggest you take appropriate action to ensure its safety. You Local Authority will be able to advise you.

Reinforcements can be added at extra cost if required. Please state when ordering.
