decorative column crown

The decorative column crown is the upper ornamental piece, of capital character, that sits on top of the column shaft. It completes the transition between the shaft and the ceiling or arch and forms the topmost section of the column. It can be produced in Doric, Ionic or Corinthian form and defines the column's character. Indoors it is used in living rooms and transition areas, and outdoors on entrance and arcade columns. The polyurethane crown is light; it is applied to the shaft and upper surface with construction adhesive and mounted safely at height. The material resists moisture and impact, does not crack, swell or peel, and can be painted; being lighter than plaster, it makes overhead mounting easier. Because it is mould-cast, the ornamental details repeat identically on every piece. Polure produces the decorative column crown in different diameters and capital types, matched to the shaft.
