decorative column shaft

The decorative column shaft is the vertical main part of a column that sits between the capital and the base. It is produced with a plain (cylindrical) or fluted surface and is the core element that sets the column's height and diameter. Indoors it is used in transition areas, and outdoors at entrances and porches to give a load-bearing look. The polyurethane shaft is light; produced as a single piece or as a half-shell, it can be fitted over an existing structural column. The material resists moisture and impact, does not crack, swell or peel, and can be painted; it installs faster than plaster or wood. Because it is mould-cast, the flutes and surface details repeat identically on every piece. Polure produces the decorative column shaft in a range of diameters and heights, matched to the capital and base.
