Natural Stone Porticos
At McMillan & Holder we have worked with our clients and architects to craft natural stone porticos, rotundas, loggia and columns for over 20 years. McMillan & Holder’s design and stone masonry workshop has become the respected destination for where master craftsmanship meets the most competitive prices in the UK.
Uncompromising on quality and craftsmanship, we take pride in offering the best value for natural architectural stone in the UK. Our team of highly skilled stonemasons combines traditional techniques with cutting-edge technology to deliver portico and columns made to the highest standards at prices comparable with concrete cast.
​Natural sandstone, limestone and granite porticos
-
Natural Stone - The timeless choice of material for porticos, columns, loggias, temples and rotundas since ancient and classical times.
-
Customisable Stone Type - Select what stone suits your portico scheme. We work with almost every hue and tint of stone and so all is possible.
-
Bespoke or Standard - We have standard sizes for ease but our technical team can bespoke a design to suit each project.
-
Portico Price - There is no difference in price but a huge difference in quality.
-
Cast Out the Imposter - It simply isn't possible to install a cast portico without evidence that it isn't stone. The cast imitations of stone retain the seams from where they were removed from the moulds, bubbles and frayed edges. We can prove it.
-
Attention to Detail - All architectural components need honing in where two joints meet on a portico. This is possible with stone as it is with wood. Cast stone cannot be honed in because once the top mm of coating is removed it exposes a non-conforming substrate.
-
Nationwide Supply and Installation - Expert support from delivery to placement.
A wealth of experience
At McMillan and Holder we love every aspect of portico design. We are hugely passionate about providing excellence in the masoning and installation of the porticos. As Cathedral masons we are experienced in installing stone to the very highest standards because we are amongst those that set those standards. We regularly play an advisory role in the regard to commercial developments and specialist architects, but additionally a number of concrete cast companies rely on our expertise to install their own concrete cast porticos.
