Arches are curved structures that are capable of spanning a space while supporting significant weight.
Pine's Stone Company, Inc.
can match any type of stone that can be used for the following six types of arches:

     
           
   
  • Roman - strong, rounded arch that is in the form of a semi-circle.
  • Segmental - arch that is in the form of a partial curve like an eyebrow over a door or window.
  • Tudor - known as a "flattened" Gothic arch that has a point in the center (crown). Its span is
    • much wider than the Gothic style.
  • Flat - known as a jack or straight arch that extends across an opening with no curvature that
    • creates a horizontal emphasis.
  • Gothic - has a narrow, pointed opening that was widely used in cathedrals during the Middle
    • Ages.
  • Horseshoe - extends beyond a semi-circle where the top is rounded and curves slightly before
    • descending.
