Balustrades

Balustrades -001

The carved columns and pillars supporting a handrail are called baluster. The stone balusters have been used in almost all the civilizations for supports and décor. In the Western architecture long columns near the entrance were quite commonly used. Marble and sandstone balustrades may be used in garden or patio landscape or staircases. Granite and lime stone and cast stone are used for balconies, terraces and gardens. Traditionally made of sandstone these are coming back in vogue again. The designs vary from the classical to modern. Indian sandstones like Dholpur Beige & Agra Red are quite suitable for making these.
