A durable and lightweight alternative to natural stone, Stevensons-Stone® is used to create finely detailed faux stone architecture. From our factory in Norwich, Stevensons’ skilled craftsmen have created Stevensons-Stone® architectural mouldings for private and public properties in over 40 countries, from the smallest corbel to the largest column and building façade.
Stevensons-Stone® is a Jesmonite-based alternative to natural stone, which offers a lightweight stone effect material with the added benefits of increased impact and water resistance. Convincingly replicating natural stone, but with a fraction of the weight, Stevensons-Stone® allows for finely detailed architecture to be created and easily installed on new and existing buildings.
Our design team are experienced working with Stevensons-Stone®, and will guide you every step of the way, from the initial idea through to installation. Utilising the benefits of Stevensons-Stone® over traditional stone carvings, buildings with architectural components can be designed using lighter materials, giving you more flexibility in your structural planning – speak to our team for more information on how Stevensons-Stone® can benefit your entire project.
With a lightweight design and thinner cross-section than typical stone architecture, Stevensons-Stone® can be easily installed onto existing buildings without the need for heavy duty reinforcements. Stevensons offer a worldwide installation service, which includes secure shipping and fixing of the architectural mouldings to complete your project.
Bespoke Design & Restoration
As part of a larger restoration project by the Royal Collection Trust, Stevensons of Norwich were invited to renovate the Queens Gallery within the grounds of Buckingham Palace.
For the impressive Lecture Theatre within the Gallery, Stevensons designed a bespoke ceiling rose, which was mounted within a striking central pendentive ribbed plaster dome, set within a perfect square. The walls within the Lecture Theatre included plaster arches and columns, and the room was finished with a range of ventilation rosettes. Alongside interior work, we used our own Stevensons-Stone® material to cast new exterior cornice, and an ornate sign for the building entrance.
Our work on the Queens Gallery received awards recognition upon completion, with the Judges commenting that the geometry was very difficult, but the effect, carried out perfectly, was well worth it, and noting that Stevensons carried out the best single piece of plasterwork seen this year: the enriched lintel and brackets to the doorway leading from the stair into the entrance lobby.

Shopping Centre Development
As part of the new Bullring shopping centre project in Birmingham, Stevensons of Norwich undertook a substantial package of work, utilising fibrous plaster, GRG (glass-reinforced gypsum) and our own Stevensons-Stone® material as requested by the designers.
A stylish white cladding can be found throughout the shopping centre, cast by Stevensons using fibrous plaster and GRG to the designers specifications. Stevensons-Stone® was used extensively across the centre for shop-front decoration, pilasters and cornice designs, produced in a range of finishes including Portland Stone, Sandstone, Limestone and a unique Stainless Steel finish thanks to the durability of the material and fine detailing available to the designers, we continue to work with the Bullring to develop new and existing shops.
Our initial installation in 2003 was awarded the prestigious Plaisterers Trophy, with the Judges commenting that we had risen to every challenge and have delivered their contribution to a new benchmark for shopping centre development.
