A common cause for the demise of a balustrade is the presence of water . Many original balustrades were made from artificial stonework such as Roman Cement , Concrete and Stucco . These were often reinforced with iron or mild steel bars which rust and expand when exposed to water over a long period .
Other balustrades were made of natural stone such as Portland Stone or Bath Stone . While these types of balustrade do not suffer from ‘ blown ’ reinforcing , they do have a finite life span and the surface of stonework will often delaminate or form powdery patches .
