Architectural Stone Products - Door Surrounds
Go Back: Architectural Stone
Our stone surrounds are authentic English Tudor reproductions. If you do not find the surround you require
then call or email and we will discuss creating a new custom surround. Although the links below represent existing stone designs,
any of these can be fabricated in several different limestone types. We guarantee our surrounds to match our doors if both are purchased together.
All of the stone elements listed here can be customized to fit a variety of
openings, heights, widths, lengths, colors (4 std), and sizes.

About Tudor Stone Doorways
:
Architectural stone elements denote Tudor
architecture (and English architecture). Some of the most important of these stone elements
are the entrance door surrounds
on the exterior. Label moulds, which typically top door
surrounds, are also requisite for an authentic Tudor
effect. A house
design can have a mixture of elements, but correct stone
door surrounds will take the design decidedly English.
These door surrounds may be rectilinear (as this was the perpedicular period of English architecture) -or-
may be a coping that follows the perimeter of the door. Either way, these surrounds tend to be heavy and
many times contain carvings in the spandrels.
At times the owner's coat of arms would also be integrated into the structure above the doorway. Interior doors and passageways in Tudor structures can also
be enhanced with stone door surrounds.
