Mullions and Jambs
Mullions act as supports when lintels bridge multiple window openings.
Jambs delineate the extreme of an opening in a building façade.
Both, when produced as a stone finish can be formed as modern units devoid of all but simple chamfered decoration to the leading edges or in the extreme contain ornate decorative detail reflecting the style of building.
