A DECORATIVE ARCHITECTURAL FEATURE, SUCH AS AN ARCH, AND THE MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF

摘要

A decorative architectural feature (12) is manufactured by preparing a substrate (13,14) of the desired size and shape, the substrate having an external display surface for displaying a decorative architectural design. An adhesive substance (16), such as glue or a resin is then applied to the display surface. Preferably a stencil (17) having at least part of the decorative architectural design cut-out (19) from a backing sheet (18) is then positioned adjacent the adhesive substance and a first desired finishing material, such as brick dust, is applied through the cut-outs (19) in the stencil (17) to adhere to the adhesive substance (16). The stencil (17) is then removed and a second desired finishing material, such as appropriately coloured sand, is applied to adhere to the remaining part of the adhesive substance (16) to which the first desired finishing material did not adhere to.
