architectural capital

An architectural capital is a polyurethane capital piece that sits at the top of a vertical support element such as a column or pilaster and decorates the transition. It is used to finish the connection between the column shaft and the ceiling or arch with a classical or plain ornamentation. The polyurethane material is lightweight and applied with assembly adhesive; it resists moisture and impact, does not crack or swell and can be painted. Compared with a stone or plaster capital it is far lighter and can be installed by one person. Because it is moulded, the capital details repeat identically on every piece. Polure produces architectural capital models in sizes suited to different column diameters.
