First impressions can be very important, and never are first impressions more important than when you are introducing your business or residential area to the world, which is why choosing the right masonry entry feature can be critical.
What is a Masonry Entry?
A masonry entry feature is a structure that marks the outside or entrance to a business, residential community or other building and announces to the world who you are and what you do. The choice of masonry features for your business, community or structure can be an indication of how you want to be viewed by the rest of the world. A solid, strong masonry feature will give the impression of strength; an excellent choice for a no-nonsense business, whereas a masonry feature set with iron (or steel fencing) could indicate security; a prime choice for a community that wants to be seen as a ‘safe’ place to live. On the other side of the ‘fence’ you’ll find the more whimsical structures that would indicate a lighter approach; such as masonry features that would be used outside of parks or community centers or play parks where the emphasis is on fun and individuality. Regardless of the style of entry feature you choose, there are a few things about the construction of masonry entry features that you should understand.
Quality Construction of a Masonry Entry Feature
Entry features are expected to stand the test of time. Simply slapping down a layer of concrete and erecting an entry feature on top of it is not going to do the trick. Experienced construction companies will understand that the location of the entry feature’s site needs to be selected with care and prepared with attention to detail. This means leveling the land on which the feature will be erected and using steel anchor pins (or poles) that are drilled into the ground to serve as the core of the entry feature to ensure that it does not shift or move over time.
Some of the best masonry entry features are walls or structures of poured-in-place concrete that are then treated to expert masonry techniques to make them appear as stone or brick, or which are used as the core of the structure and lend support to real brick or stone working techniques and applications.
The construction of an entry feature of this type is not just like erecting a wall, it is a work of art, and just as with most any art, you will get what you pay for. The cost of good quality entry features may seem high when compared to lower construction quality methods, but if you are looking for an entry feature that will stand the test of time, you will need to use a company like compact constructors.
