paintable column capital
A paintable column capital is an ornamented polyurethane decorative piece produced with a paint-accepting surface that fits onto the upper part of the column shaft. In classic architecture it is used as a decorative finishing element at the top of columns and half-columns. The polyurethane material is lightweight and is applied directly to the shaft with assembly adhesive; it resists moisture and impact, does not crack, swell or warp, and can be painted any colour. It is lighter than a plaster capital and is applied safely at high points; unlike wood it is unaffected by moisture and does not rot. Because it is mould-cast, the leaf and scroll details repeat identically on every piece. Once painted, it gives a look integrated with the column shaft. Polure produces the paintable column capital in different style and size options.
