Corbel

A corbel is a stone which protrudes from a wall and is used to support a structure above it such as a balcony or canopy. Stone corbels were used extensively in European architecture from the 16th century onwards. This means that the renovation of very old properties will often require stone corbels to be replaced. Although corbels are more typically used on new builds and self-build projects where the property is in a traditional design, more contemporary buildings also use cast stone corbels with simple sleek lines. Proctor Cast Stone have a complete range of standard cast stone corbels which can be produced in a wide number of colours and can be matched to other architectural features produced, such as cornices and keystones.
