We can offer six standard Porticos; these are in three widths as shown below. Should you wish to order, it is only necessary for you to specify:
The portico will be supplied shrink-wrapped on pallets and will contain all the necessary components. A full set of constructional and component drawings will be provided on receipt of your order.
The inside face of the structural ring beam has a series of threaded sockets along its length allowing you to install your own choice of decking or roof to the enclosed portico area.
The property, which sits in an area that combines the inherent advantages of North London and Hertfordshire’s home country rural feel, utilises Forticrete cast stone detailing components including cills, decorative heads, copings and a portico kit in Portland colour
Some Forticrete dressings will incorporate 100mm dovetail slots to restrain lateral movement in vertical units i.e. window jambs, door jambs, etc. All Forticrete copings are supplied with a suitable fixing. Other positional fixings may be provided in items such as window surrounds. Other inserts or anchor slots can be incorporated at the request of the specifier/designer.
We would advise not to cut Cast Stone items over 600mm long as they will have one or more steel bars inserted for handling purposes. There is a risk that any cutting or drilling may result in the drill piece or blade making contact with the steel bar and shattering not only the cutting blade but the unit as well. Forticrete can incorporate any holes or dowels at the manufacturing stage. Prior consultation should be sought with the Technical department regarding this.
Yes, but this depends on the size of repair. For small chips up to 25mm in diameter, it is possible to repair these, although it is always likely to be visible. A bag of repair mix can be obtained by speaking to the Customer Services office. We also provide a Technical Information Sheet outlining the process for conducting the repair.
If the item you require is not available within our Cast Stone Dressings Standard Products - then please send us a sketch of the item required to caststone@forticrete.com or call our Customer Service Department on 01909 775000.
