Portico A with M4 Columns, additional Plinth Block and Plain Parapet

In the XIX century, porticos were a frequent feature of houses for both aesthetic and practical reasons. Whilst providing welcome shelter from the elements, they also offered architects the opportunity to embellish an otherwise perhaps rather dull entrance, uplifting it to much grander proportions.

Today, the benefits and opportunities provided by utilising these architectural features are again being appreciated, for both public and private buildings.

The Haddonstone collection of porticos includes five designs using standard Haddonstone architectural elements. As can be seen from the photographs, it is often possible to combine individual elements to create a completely new design. An additional four components are also offered for use as individual entablature pieces.

Haddonstone also specialises in the manufacture of custom-made porticos to individual designs and requirements.

Note: The architrave will, in most cases, require backing with an in-situ reinforced concrete beam sufficient to carry the weight of the structure. Please ask for relevant Tech Sheet number for assembly recommendations.
