The P5020C50 decorative element is a premium-quality pilaster capital designed to bring the most exquisite details of classical architecture to wall surfaces. Providing a grand transition at the top termination points of flat wall columns, this capital creates a deep aesthetic in both interiors and building facades. Seamlessly blending with neo-classical, baroque, and traditional design languages, it lends an elite architectural identity to any project.
Boasting superior technical standards, the product features dimensions of 180x360x280 mm, offering ideal proportions for medium to large-scale pilaster designs. Manufactured from high-density (150-220 kg/m³) rigid polyurethane, this capital offers wood-like durability while remaining exceptionally lightweight. Thanks to its closed-cell structure, its low water absorption (below 1%) helps it resist moisture, rain, or steam and maintain its shape over time.
The fine craftsmanship in its design easily distinguishes this product from ordinary decorative elements. The acanthus leaf reliefs gracefully flaring upward from the bottom, the symmetrical volute (scroll) curves on the sides, and the central floral rosette motif feature sharp lines reminiscent of traditional stone carving. Thanks to advanced molding technology, even the deepest carved details are smoothly transferred to the surface. It offers superior surface quality and impact resistance compared to fragile, shedding plaster or fragile EPS foam with blurry details.
With a wide range of applications, this pilaster capital can be safely used for both interior and exterior designs. It is frequently utilized as a complementary architectural element in villa entrance portals, hotel lobbies, wedding and ballroom halls, fireplace column designs, or luxury living room wall partitions. For exterior applications, coating it with a UV-resistant paint is mandatory to protect it from the weathering effects of sunlight.
The product is shipped from the factory pre-primed with a special undercoat that prepares the surface for painting. However, since paint manufacturers do not guarantee finishes applied without their own primers, applying an additional primer coat before the final paint is optional and left to the customer's preference. During installation, it should be adhered to the surface using Polure Polfix polyurethane adhesive and then mechanically secured by screwing through designated hidden points.
- This polyurethane pilaster capital is primarily used as a crowning cap in flat wall column (pilaster) designs
- Indoors, it creates a stunning focal point in hotel and restaurant lobbies, wall partitions of spacious living rooms, decorative framing above fireplaces, column applications around doors and windows, and library furniture details
- Outdoors, it serves as a grand architectural transition element on villa facades, building entrance columns, window jamb sides, and floor molding intersections
- To achieve a cohesive look, it is recommended to pair it with flat or fluted pilaster shafts of matching widths
- The installation surface must be dry, clean, and free of dust
- Apply Polure Polfix polyurethane adhesive to the back of the product and position it on the wall
- In addition to the adhesive, mechanical fastening with screws through hidden points is mandatory for a secure installation
- Screw holes and joints should be filled with an exterior-grade acrylic filler, and once dry, sanded smooth with 180-220 grit sandpaper
- An optional extra coat of primer can be applied over the factory primer based on the paint manufacturer's recommendation
- Finally, apply at least two coats of water-based or synthetic paint
- For outdoor applications, the use of UV-resistant paint is mandatory
- Cleaning the product is highly practical; it can be dusted by wiping with a slightly damp, soft cloth
- Avoid using harsh chemicals such as abrasive acids, hydrochloric acid, or strong thinners during cleaning
- For exterior applications, it is recommended to inspect the painted surface once a year to extend the paint's lifespan and maintain UV protection
- Any localized scratches or dents resulting from impacts can easily be repaired using standard filler, sanding, and touch-up painting
Can the P5020C50 column capital be used on exterior facades?
Yes, thanks to its closed-cell structure, the product is moisture-resistant, making it suitable for exterior use. However, to prevent yellowing under outdoor weather conditions, it must be painted with a UV-resistant exterior paint after installation.
Which adhesive should I use for installation?
To ensure maximum strength during installation, only Polure Polfix polyurethane adhesive should be used. Silicones or similar flexible adhesives are not suitable for this product. Additionally, mechanical fastening with screws is required.
Can the product be used directly without painting?
The product comes with a white factory primer. However, the primer coat is not a final finish and does not provide protection against external elements. For aesthetic integrity and long-lasting durability, the product must be painted after installation.
What are its advantages compared to plaster or wood column capitals?
Polyurethane capitals are much lighter than plaster and feature an impact-resistant, shatterproof structure. Compared to wood, they offer resistance to moisture, water, rot, and insect infestation. The fine carved details do not fade over time, and the material does not crack.
How are joints and screw holes concealed after installation?
Screw heads and joint seams are filled with a high-quality, polyurethane-compatible exterior or acrylic filler. Once the filler dries, it is sanded flat with 180-220 grit sandpaper to level it with the surface, and then painted to completely conceal them.
