fluted column shaft
The fluted column shaft is the main load-bearing-looking polyurethane piece that sits between the capital and base of the column and carries vertical grooves. The shaft is the core element that determines the column's height and diameter; the flutes are located on this piece, creating vertical lines and a light-and-shadow transition. In column cladding applications it is usually produced as two half-shells and joined to wrap around the existing column. Being made of polyurethane, it is lightweight and easy to install; it resists moisture and impact, does not crack or warp, and its surface can be painted. Polure produces fluted column shafts in diameters matching the capital and base pieces, with standard flute spacing. This way, when the shaft is combined with the complementary pieces the proportions stay consistent and the shaft seams align cleanly after installation. The shaft dimensions and diameter information are defined in the catalogue.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the fluted column shaft be bought on its own?
The shaft can be bought on its own; however, when used with a capital and base, a unified column look is achieved.
How does the shaft wrap around the column?
For column cladding it is usually produced as two half-shells and joined to wrap around the existing column.
Is the shaft diameter standard?
Yes, the shaft diameters and flute spacings are produced in standard sizes compatible with the capital and base pieces.
