Corbels

Corbels come in many shapes and sizes and with nearly every project being unique there isn’t really a standard corbel. The best time to decide on your size and shape of corbel is when you put up your roof trusses. By waiting until then you can be sure that you get all the measurements and angles correct. So many times, corbels have been made beforehand only to have to be scrapped or altered because things are slightly different from the original plans. Harris Quarries have the ability to manufacture corbels in a matter of days once the onsite survey has determined the correct sizes. Generally speaking a corbel is split into thirds, the overhang from the building usually being one third of the stone and the bearing being the other two thirds, this ensures the corbel sits on the stonework without tipping forward it also ties in nicely to the stonework that surrounds it.
