Quoins
Quoin stones are traditionally built into the corners of buildings. They provide detail to the building and are often made in a colour to compliment the brickwork or render. In addition, quoin stones can provide weather protection and strength.
Usually, the quoins are built into the wall as part of the structure. We can make them to fit with any size of brick or block work and also to any length dimensions required.
We also make “cladding” quoin stones, which are fixed onto the corner after it has been built. The visual effect is the same, but our cladding quoin is not structural.
Choices of Quoin
Return Quoin - the standard type that is built into the wall corner one long side over one short side.
Reveal Quoin - built into the wall as a standard block. Usually used for door and window reveals.
Chamfered Quoin - this quoin has a chamfer on the top and bottom edges for aesthetic reasons. The chamfer can be on reveal, return or cladding type quoins.
Cladding Quoin - fixed onto the wall after the corner has been finished. They are easy to handle and simple to fix.
