Planning a natural-stone entrance
A well-planned entrance brings the approach, steps and landing together. Establish levels and drainage before selecting stone sizes.
Levels at the doorway
Measure the threshold, available rise and approach distance. Allow room for the door to open and for someone to stand comfortably on the landing. Connections to the building need details suited to its construction.
Steps and landing
Solid block steps and stone cladding over a supporting structure have different requirements. Confirm the support, dimensions, loads and any edge protection. Do not infer step heights from an inspiration photograph.
Rain and winter use
The entrance must remain practical in wet weather. Check slip information for the exact finish, lighting and the route for runoff. Winter maintenance must be compatible with the stone and installation materials.
Your next step
- Measure the threshold and available entrance space.
- Agree the step and landing construction.
- Check drainage, lighting and the surface finish.
