Lesson 7 : Exterior And Interior Wall Ornamentation
Decorative Balustrades And Railing Syste
Balustrade Systems enhance any staircase, patio, or enclosed area. Balusters are the main instrument used in balustrade systems to create a desired appearance.
Top railings and bottom railings accent the balusters while the newel posts provide balance. Accessories such as newel caps and finials finish the completed look. Thinner balusters project a flowing, comfortable atmosphere, while thicker more prominent baluster styles have a colonial or structured feel. Tall, short, round, or square, we can create a balustrade system for ideal design.
Interior domes are used to adorn casinos, hotels, resorts, shopping centers, and even private homes. Because Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer domes and GRG domes are much more lightweight than architectural domes crafted of traditional materials, installation is faster and easier than it was in the past. GRG domes are so thin and light that many can even be suspended from ceilings with screws, hangar wire, or threaded rod. Creating a fabulous look with these materials is also easy. Domes in grand restaurants and lobbies can be made even more beautiful by installing chandeliers. These beautiful elements often feature elaborate designs, and the light they give off can make interior domes containing stained or translucent glass even more enchanting.
Vault (architecture), an arched form above an enclosed space. The inclusion of domes, however, represents a wider sense of the word vault. The distinction between the two is that a vault is essentially an arch which is extruded into the third dimension, whereas a dome is an arch revolved around its vertical axis.
