When masonry is failing or too costly to recast, lightweight replicas provide the appearance of the original without the structural burden. Below we outline where it works best, how we build it, and the practical details teams care about—lead times, finishes and install considerations.
Respecting original intent
We scan or template fragments, rebuild profiles digitally, and confirm dimensions with consultants. Surface textures are tuned so new work sits comfortably with existing fabric.
Why lightweight matters
Historic substrates can be fragile. Foam‑core replicas reduce fixings and load while coatings take the knocks of weather and maintenance.
Documentation and sign‑off
We provide drawings, sample coupons and material data for review. Final approval remains with the heritage authority and project team.
Typical elements
Cornices, corbels, brackets, window hoods, balustrade features and pediments—matched, mirrored and repeated as required.
