Frequently asked questions about natural stone countertops
Can natural stone columns also be used as load-bearing elements?
Yes, granite or bluestone columns are extremely suitable as a load-bearing structure. We calculate and manufacture these fully to measure.
Which types of stone are suitable for columns?
Granite, bluestone and marble are popular choices. Granite is the strongest and easiest to maintain; marble provides a classic, luxurious look.
Are columns also suitable as garden decoration?
Absolutely—columns and pillars are often used in gardens as freestanding ornaments, near pergolas or as a stylish boundary.
How do I maintain natural stone pillars?
Regular cleaning with water and a mild detergent is sufficient. For outdoor columns, periodic impregnation can provide protection against dirt and weather influences.
Are columns always custom-made?
Yes, we supply columns fully tailored to the desired height, diameter, shape and finish. Every project is custom work.
