Band Course
Thorverton Stone band courses are 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. The band course itself may be of very plain design or of a decorative design of your choice. See the further information sheet for design ideas and guidance.
Choices of Band Course
Plain design – such as a rectangular flat faced block that sits flush with the brickwork.
Decorative design – such as a moulded faced rectangular block that sits proud from the brickwork a little.
Dentil band course – a castellated effect that sits on its side.
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.
