P5050D is a polyurethane decoration product designed as the upper capital element of a pilaster column, completing the transition between the pilaster shaft and the architectural surface above it. Its 69 x 69 x 32 cm format creates a substantial square capital profile for classical interior and exterior compositions, while the component remains a decorative element rather than a structural load-bearing part.
The component is manufactured from rigid polyurethane with a closed-cell structure. Its density is 150-220 kg/m³, providing a lightweight alternative to plaster, stone and solid timber while retaining a hard, detailed surface suitable for architectural finishing. The material has water absorption below 1%, high dimensional stability and resistance to rot, mould and freeze-thaw cycles. Its stated temperature range is -20 °C / +70 °C. The supplied surface includes a factory primer that prepares it for water-based or synthetic paint; an additional primer coat remains optional because paint manufacturers may not warranty surfaces painted without their own primer system.
P5050D gives a pilaster installation a clearly defined upper termination without adding the visual mass of a cast stone or plaster capital. The 69 cm width and depth suit facade and entrance compositions where the capital needs to read as a distinct architectural block. It can be painted to coordinate with the surrounding wall, pilaster shaft, cornice or other decorative elements. For exterior work, a UV-resistant paint system is required because unpainted polyurethane may yellow under sunlight.
Typical applications include villa entrances, hotel and restaurant facades, commercial premises, cultural buildings, entrance halls, living rooms and feature walls. On an exterior elevation, the capital can finish pilasters around doors or windows and support a visual transition into a cornice or entablature; it must not be treated as a structural support. Indoors, it can frame a reception area, hallway or formal living space, especially where a classical architectural language is required. P5050D is suitable for both indoor and outdoor decoration when the appropriate paint and installation system are used.
Installation requires a clean, dry and sound substrate. Mark the position, prepare any required 45-degree mitre cuts, apply polyurethane (PU) mounting adhesive and secure the component with screws as mandatory mechanical fixing; use suitable plugs and additional support where the size, position or substrate requires it. Fill joints and screw points with suitable filler, sand with 180-220 grit abrasive, apply the selected primer system and finish with two coats of paint. The result combines the detailed appearance of architectural plasterwork with lower handling weight, moisture resistance and easier repair than plaster, while avoiding the rot and insect concerns associated with timber.
- P5050D is intended for the upper section of a pilaster composition, where it gives the shaft a finished architectural termination
- On a villa facade, place the capital above pilasters flanking the main entrance, a balcony door or a window surround
- On hotels, restaurants and commercial buildings, it can define entrance bays and reinforce a classical facade rhythm without functioning as a structural support
- Exterior installations require UV-resistant paint, with joints and screw points sealed using exterior filler
- Indoors, P5050D suits entrance halls, reception areas, living rooms and formal dining spaces
- It can be painted to match the pilaster body, wall finish or surrounding cornice
- In a hotel lobby or restaurant, use capitals to frame a doorway or separate decorative wall zones
- In a residential interior, a painted capital can complete a pilaster used beside a fireplace surround, opening or feature wall
- The 69 x 69 cm plan size and 32 cm height make it appropriate for compositions that need a visible, substantial upper detail rather than a narrow trim
- Prepare the substrate so it is clean, dry, sound and free from loose material
- Mark the capital position in relation to the pilaster shaft and adjoining architectural elements
- Carry out any required 45-degree mitre cuts for accurate junctions
- Apply polyurethane (PU) mounting adhesive to the prepared contact areas; silicone adhesive must not be used
- Mechanical fixing with screws is mandatory, with suitable plugs and additional support selected according to the component position, substrate and connection loads
- Fill joints and screw recesses with suitable filler, then sand the repaired areas using 180-220 grit abrasive
- Apply the chosen primer system and finish with two paint coats
- For exterior use, select UV-resistant paint and seal joints and fixing points with exterior filler
- Clean the painted surface with a soft, dry or lightly damp cloth
- Do not use abrasive cleaners, hard brushes or aggressive tools that could mark the decorative finish
- Inspect exterior joints, screw points and painted areas periodically, especially where the component is exposed to weather
- Any repainting or surface repair should follow the requirements of the paint system used
- Because unpainted polyurethane may yellow under UV exposure, maintain the protective paint finish outdoors
- Polure does not provide a warranty for paint products or accept responsibility for the performance of a coating selected by the customer
Can P5050D be used on an exterior facade?
Yes. P5050D is suitable for exterior decorative applications such as villa entrances, facade pilasters and commercial building door surrounds. The component is decorative and does not carry structural loads. A UV-resistant paint system is required outdoors because unpainted polyurethane may yellow with sunlight. Exterior joints and screw points should be sealed with exterior filler, and the substrate, fixing method and connection loads should be assessed before installation.
How is the pilaster capital installed and painted?
Install P5050D on a clean, dry and sound surface using polyurethane (PU) mounting adhesive together with mandatory mechanical screw fixing. Silicone adhesive must not be used. Make any required 45-degree mitre cuts, fill joints and screw recesses, then sand with 180-220 grit abrasive. Apply the selected primer system and finish with two coats of water-based or synthetic paint. Additional support may be required according to the substrate and installation position.
What are the dimensions and material properties of P5050D?
P5050D measures 69 x 69 x 32 cm, listed as width x depth x height. It is made from rigid, closed-cell polyurethane with a density of 150-220 kg/m³. Water absorption is below 1%, and the material offers high dimensional stability. Its stated temperature range is -20 °C / +70 °C. The product is decorative rather than structural, so it must not be specified as a load-bearing component.
Why choose polyurethane instead of plaster or timber for a pilaster capital?
Rigid polyurethane is lighter than plaster, concrete, stone and solid timber, which can simplify handling during installation. It provides a hard surface with fine architectural definition, resists moisture-related rot and is not affected by insect damage in the way timber can be. The surface can be filled, sanded, primed and repainted if required. Compared with plaster, it also offers closed-cell moisture resistance and lower handling weight, while remaining a decorative, non-structural element.
Can P5050D be painted in a custom colour?
Yes. P5050D arrives with a factory-primed surface intended to prepare it for painting. Water-based and synthetic paint systems can be used, with the final colour determined by the selected coating. An additional primer coat is optional, but paint manufacturers may not provide a warranty when their own primer is not used. For exterior installations, choose a UV-resistant paint. Polure does not guarantee the paint product or accept responsibility for the coating system selected.
