Decoration of the facade with art-stones

The majority of modern buildings are the same, they lack individuality. If the situation resonates with yours , you came to the right place! Our experts help to transform the general look of the house by adding new decorative elements and working out totally new concept of the house, even if the existing design solution has dominated for years. Our technology allows decorating the facade with art-stone with minimal pressure on walls and foundation. The new facade will not only be beautiful, but also robust. It won’t require any additional service.

The benefits of decorating the facade and the house’s foundation with art-concrete elements:

This construction was a simple, unremarkable house. Exterior facade faced with art-stones has turned it into a medieval castle

As compared to natural, wild stones; art-stones (stones, made from fair-faced concrete) do not entail the long-standing process of matching one element to another, which greatly accelerates the procedure. There is a number of advantages, demonstrated by artificial stones. Here they are:

The material performs high adhesion characteristics and allows filling cracks, potholes and other defects of the foundation.

One of the most widespread approaches to transforming the facade of a house is to decorate the basement by means of architectural concrete. Thus, you can create a feeling of a house “growing out of the rocks”.

Here is another non-trivial way to decorate the facade using architectural concrete: friezes, moldings, sculptures, medallions, bas-reliefs and high reliefs. They help to attract attention, highlight separate parts of the facade and at the same time they speak about owner’s preferences: they symbolize his values and taste, remind him of memorable and pleasant events or just simply copy motives, once seen and remembered.

The front entrance is the home’s signature, whether it’s a private property or a public institution. Therefore, its design should be treated with particular care. Art concrete technology makes it possible not only to decorate the entrance, but also to create new elements with additional structures and stairs in any style.

If you want to radically change the look of your home, you can make the facade completely tiled. Stone masonry will turn the structure into a medieval castle, a rock massif into a house inside a rock. Sculptural and artistic work will be performed at a high level, ensuring a visual similarity of the work with natural stone.

Usually the foundation of a house is colored 2 -3 shades darker that the facade,though in some cases the contrast can be more vivid. One can add diversity to the exterior appearance by decorating other elements of the house (like windows’ and doors’ openings, armored belt or column elements on the corner of the house) with the same type of masonry.

The stone texture shouldn’t have any deep hollows, as it will hamper the cleaning of surface. It’s better to decorate the house with brick masonry at the level of foundation with stones of smooth clear lines, as for plastered facades – the best choice will be oval and sledge stones, and for the concrete monoliths it’s better to go for assymetric shapes.

Rough materials have a more natural touch and look cozy, while polished material is perfect for mansions, administrative buildings and large-scale constructions.

The current dominating trend in facade decoration requires the usage of the following rocks:

With architectural concrete, you can create an imitation of any stone, including expensive and rare species. If you want to give a house monumentality and luster, to emphasize the classic style of architecture, the rich color of granite or marble is suitable. Rockshell or sandstone with porous texture are used in the design of buildings in the medieval style, as well as country estates in the southern latitudes. Slate or quartzite are offered in dark and light shades with unusual veining. Surfaces with a combination of different rocks look interesting. When choosing colors and textures it is not necessary to rely on a natural sample, together with our artists we can come up with your own stone for cladding and you will have a unique facade, which you will not find anywhere else..
