lightweight capital
A lightweight capital is a low-weight decorative crown element made from polyurethane that fits on top of columns and pilasters. It is used on interior and exterior facade columns, pilasters and around entrance doors for classic or modern ornamentation. Polyurethane is far lighter than stone or plaster equivalents, so a single person can carry it and it bonds directly to the surface with construction adhesive. It resists moisture and impact, will not crack or swell, and can be painted any colour. Because it is moulded, the capital details repeat identically on every piece. Polure produces the lightweight capital in size options to suit different column diameters.
