• Assembly instructions accompany delivery of your order
• Our project managers are on hand at the end of the telephone to provide helpful advice
• Cranborne Stone features are delivered with a complimentary 'colour matching' pointing mix
• We are pleased to be able to facilitate the 'on location' fitting of your Cranborne Stone features.

Pointing

Cranborne Stone pointing instructions

We would like to draw your attention to the following:

Balustrades

Assembling balustrades requires some skill and experience and we recommend that a builder who has erected balustrade before is used. Instructions are available on request. Suitable footings should be prepared in advance.

Urns and Vases

Urns and vases should be mortared together using a weak cement mix (1:4 cement to sand).

If there is a risk that children or members of the public may climb on the urns, vertical steel reinforcing bars should be used to reinforce the connection between the vase and the base. In these circumstances we recommend that the opinion of a structural engineer is sought.
