Limestone Quoins.
Corners That Command Attention.
Simple, classic, and instantly recognisable.
Quoins are the alternating corner stones on a masonry building — one of the oldest and most enduring architectural details in Western building. They create striking visual contrast against brick or stone veneer and give a building corners that read as deliberate rather than incidental.
Tulip fabricates Indiana Limestone quoins in five profiles including one-piece and two-piece configurations, with mitered corners available for a seamless wrap with no visible joint on the corner face. Custom sizes are produced to match your masonry coursing.
Quoins
Simple and classic, quoins create a wonderful visual contrast to masonry veneer. These can be installed one on top of the other or divided by another form of exterior cladding. Versatile in application, quoins add definition, permanence, and elegance to any corner — residential or commercial.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are quoins in masonry architecture?
Quoins are the corner stones on a masonry building, typically larger than the surrounding masonry and often alternating in length. They define and visually strengthen the corner of a building and create contrast against brick or stone veneer. They can be installed continuously or divided by other cladding.
What quoin profiles does Tulip Precast offer?
Five profiles: Classic Quoin, Classic Two Piece, Classic Two Piece Mitered, Double Chamfered, and Double Chamfered Two Piece. Two-piece configurations allow more flexible installation; mitered options create a seamless corner with no visible joint on the face.
What is the difference between one-piece and two-piece quoins?
A one-piece quoin wraps the corner as a single L-shaped stone. A two-piece quoin uses two separate stones meeting at the corner, which allows more flexible installation and easier handling on site. Mitered two-piece quoins have an angled joint so no seam is visible on the corner face.
Can quoins be matched to existing masonry?
Yes. We match quoin dimensions to your existing masonry coursing and match colour and texture to existing stone on extension and renovation projects. Provide photographs and coursing dimensions when enquiring.
