Band Course
Thorverton Stone band course is usually incorporated into a building
as a band of stone that surrounds the structure. Its purpose is mostly aesthetic,
often used to break up a monotonous expanse of brickwork. Bandcourses are often linked in to the lintles and match the lintel design. This may be a very plain design or a decorative design of your choice.
See the further information Band course Sheet (pdf) for design ideas and guidance on how to order.
The string course stones can be made as either a build-in stone or a cladding stone depending on fixing methods. Call us to discuss fixing options.
Choices of Band Course
Plain design – such as a rectangular flat faced block that sits flush with the brickwork. (see top right photo)
Decorative design – such as a moulded faced rectangular block that sits proud from the brickwork a little. (see bottom two photos)
Dentil band course – a castellated effect that sits on its side (see top left photo)
Your own design – send us detailed drawings for us to make the stones to your requirements.
Band courses can be incorporated into window and door surrounds or other features in the building.
