For projects seeking the natural warmth of wood texture in outdoor spaces while demanding superior weather resistance, polyurethane beam and rafter models offer the perfect alternative. This project showcases the engineering and aesthetic harmony of Polure polyurethane elements utilized in a wide-span monumental entrance gate design. Completely eliminating the drawbacks of traditional wood—such as rotting, cracking, and insect infestation over time—the high-density polyurethane formulation ensures long-lasting structural integrity in outdoor designs.
The P1950, P1950A, P1981A, P1981AK, and P1981AKA series, featuring various cross-sectional widths, were selected for the vertical column claddings and horizontal beam axes that form the main backbone of the design. These modular profiles reduce the load on the building's load-bearing columns, facilitating easy installation. Integrated into the upper roof truss and arched corner supports, the P1923, P1927, and P1940 polyurethane beams perfectly replicate the natural look of oak or chestnut thanks to their deep wood grain texture. Complementary log elements such as P1981B, P1981BK, P1981BKA, P1981C, P1981CK, P1981CKA, and P1981D, used to enhance depth in details, bring an architectural rhythm to the system.
The hand-carved feel, one of the most prominent features of the rustic style, is successfully transferred to the surface texture through the flexible production technology of polyurethane. The circular wooden wheel motif and symmetrical wood panels positioned at the center of the entrance arch blend rustic architecture with modern engineering. The lightweight nature of polyurethane minimizes the need for heavy steel or solid wood framing in such large-scale and high-ceilinged structures, significantly reducing both labor costs and installation time.
Polure polyurethane beam and log models maintain their pristine appearance for years on exteriors without fading, thanks to special UV-resistant painting techniques. With their non-water-absorbing structure, these products do not swell or deform even in rainy climates, making them a trusted choice for a wide range of applications from prestigious public projects to private villa entrances. Offering architects and designers unlimited detailing freedom, our extensive product range enables the creation of prestigious, maintenance-free solutions in perfect harmony with nature in landscaping projects.
- The P1981 series polyurethane profiles in various cross-sections create a stepped facade depth, visually softening the monumental structure.
- The P1923 and P1927 beam models chosen for the arched corner supports successfully replicate interlocking joints of traditional carpentry.
- High-density polyurethane maintains dimensional stability against outdoor moisture and temperature shifts, preventing joint cracking.
- Horizontal panel claddings on the lower columns contrast with vertical load-bearing lines, offering a balanced facade dynamic.
- Hanging lantern fixtures and the wheel motif complementing the rustic design achieve perfect material harmony with the faux wood texture.
- Thanks to its lightweight structure, this monumental entrance arch minimizes the static load on the foundation, enhancing structural safety.
