Ornamental Scroll Railing on Ledgestone Steps
Project Overview
Ornamental railing with cast scrollwork installed on the ledgestone steps and porch of a stone-faced home with a red door and brick trim.
Analysis
The ledgestone facade is busy, so the rail design uses larger scroll forms with open spacing to avoid a cluttered look against the stone.
Process
Measure, fabrication, finishing, one-day install, and final detailing.
Outcome
A decorative railing that reads clearly against the stone and finishes the raised entry.

Materials Used
