classical facade column

A classical facade column is an upright, load-bearing-looking element suited to the classical order, used at entrances, corners and between windows on a building facade; it consists of a shaft, capital and base. It adds vertical emphasis and symmetry to the facade and highlights entrance sections. It is mould-cast from exterior-grade polyurethane; since the shaft is hollow it is lightweight, and it is fixed to the facade with adhesive and a mechanical connection. It resists moisture, frost and impact, does not crack, swell or warp, and can be painted with exterior facade paint. Being far lighter than stone and concrete, it installs quickly and adds no extra load to the facade. Because it is mould-cast, the shaft and capital profile are identical. Polure produces the classical facade column in a range of diameters and heights.
