Tapered round columns

Tapered round limestone columns create a refined classical form, adding vertical elegance and softer transitions between structural elements. These architectural limestone columns are commonly specified for entry porticos, verandahs, colonnades and interior feature spaces.

Fluted columns

Fluted limestone columns feature precision-cut vertical detailing that introduces shadow, rhythm and articulation across the natural stone surface. This style is particularly suited to neoclassical, heritage-inspired and statement architectural applications.

Square and pier columns

Square and pier columns provide a more substantial architectural form and can be created from ashlar limestone blockwork. They are suited to classical and contemporary homes, commercial entrances, gateways, landscape walls and courtyards.
