column base types
Column base types refer to polyurethane base elements of different forms and sizes that make up the lower section where a column meets the floor. The base is the part that completes the column shaft at the bottom and manages the transition; it can be produced in classical, modern or plain profiles. The polyurethane material is lightweight and is applied to the floor and column shaft with installation adhesive; it resists moisture and impact, does not crack or blister, and can be painted. Because it sits close to the floor, moisture resistance matters, and polyurethane offers an advantage over plaster in this regard. Since it is mould-produced, the profile details repeat identically on every piece. Polure manufactures column bases in a range of diameters and profile options.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a column base?
It is the element that forms the lower section where the column meets the floor and manages the transition between the shaft and the floor.
What material are column bases made from?
They are mould-produced from polyurethane, which is lightweight, moisture-resistant and paintable.
What is the advantage of polyurethane for a base near the floor?
Being moisture-resistant and rot-free, it stands out against plaster and wood in positions close to the floor.
