The Pilaster Column Ionic Capital is a moulded architectural decoration element that completes the upper section of pilasters and decorative columns. Measuring 14x28x19 cm, it creates a balanced transition on narrow and medium-width pilaster shafts. Its Ionic capital form can be used in entrance halls, living rooms, corridors and facade designs to give vertical surfaces a classical finishing detail.
The product is made from closed-cell rigid PU with a density of 150-220 kg/m³. This construction is lighter than plaster, solid wood and concrete, while helping preserve the definition of its moulded surface details. Water absorption is below 1%; however, application conditions, joints and the paint system should be considered for exterior performance. The material retains its form. It is decorative and must not be used as a structural load-bearing element.
The moulded decorative surface of the Pilaster Column Ionic Capital creates a defined architectural transition between the pilaster shaft and the capital. The factory primer helps prepare the surface for water-based or synthetic paint. The colour can be selected to match the wall and joinery tones of the space. Since paint manufacturers may not provide a warranty for applications made without their own primers, the use of an additional primer should be assessed according to the paint system. Polure does not provide a warranty for the paint system used and accepts no responsibility for it.
This capital can be used above wall pilasters in living rooms or entrance halls, and at the upper finish of column-like sections in classic interiors such as hotel lobbies and restaurants. It can also be installed with pilasters around windows and doors on villa facades. For exterior applications, it must not be left unpainted, and UV-resistant paint should be preferred. Indoors, using a matching wall colour creates a cohesive appearance, while a contrasting tone can bring greater attention to the capital detail.
Before installation, the surface must be clean, dry, sound and even. The piece is prepared with 45° mitre cuts; polyurethane (PU) mounting adhesive is applied to the surface, followed by mechanical fixing with screws. Joints are filled, smoothed with 180-220 grit sandpaper, and then finished with primer and two coats of paint. Silicone adhesive must not be used. Compared with plaster, this decorative element is lighter and more resistant to breakage; compared with wood, it offers greater resistance to moisture and decay. It can be filled and repainted when required.
- The Pilaster Column Ionic Capital is used to complete the upper section of vertical pilaster shafts
- In an entrance hall, it creates a classical transition at the capital section of pilasters positioned on either side; in a living room, it strengthens the column effect around a fireplace, niche or bookcase
- In corridors, it can be used as a decorative architectural frame on both sides of door openings or to divide the wall surface visually
- In hotel lobbies, restaurants and classically designed offices, it can be installed together with the pilaster shaft to create rhythm across the wall
- It can also be used on either side of a bedhead or above decorative niches in a bedroom
- On villa facades, it can form the upper finish of pilaster arrangements around doors and windows
- For exterior applications, joints and screw points should be covered with exterior-grade filler, and the surface should be protected with UV-resistant paint
- Indoors, painting the capital in the same colour as the wall creates a more unified appearance, while a different tone makes the moulded surface more prominent
- The installation surface must be free of dust, dry, sound and even
- Check the orientation of the Pilaster Column Ionic Capital where it meets the pilaster shaft, then prepare it to the required dimensions
- Use a 45° mitre for any necessary cuts
- Apply polyurethane (PU) mounting adhesive to the back and contact points; after positioning the piece, mechanical fixing with screws is mandatory
- For wide applications or areas subject to connection loads, suitable mechanical support must be selected
- Follow the adhesive manufacturer's application and curing instructions
- Cover screw heads and joints with filler, then smooth the surface with 180-220 grit sandpaper
- Check the factory primer; apply an additional primer if required, followed by two coats of paint
- Do not use silicone adhesive
- For exterior applications, UV-resistant paint and exterior-grade filler should be preferred
- The surface of the Pilaster Column Ionic Capital can be dusted regularly with a soft, dry cloth
- If necessary, use a slightly damp cloth, but do not leave the surface wet for extended periods
- Abrasive cleaners, hard brushes and uncontrolled solvent-based products may damage the moulded surface
- On exterior facades, inspect the painted surface at regular intervals
- If cracks, blistering or opening joints appear, clean the affected area and renew it with a suitable filler and paint system
- The need for renewal depends on the exposure conditions and the paint used
Can the Pilaster Column Ionic Capital be used outdoors?
Yes. The product can be used to complete the upper finish of pilaster shafts in exterior decoration. For outdoor applications, the surface must not be left unpainted and should be protected with UV-resistant paint. Joints and screw points must be covered with exterior-grade filler. Because the surface is exposed to rain, sunlight and temperature changes, preparation must be carried out carefully; before installation, check that the facade surface is sound, dry and even. The product is decorative and must not be used as a structural load-bearing element.
How is the Pilaster Column Ionic Capital installed and painted?
Check the installation direction on a clean, dry surface and prepare any required cuts with a 45° mitre. Use polyurethane (PU) mounting adhesive for installation and mechanically fix the piece with screws; silicone must not be used. Fill the joints and screw heads, then smooth them with 180-220 grit sandpaper. The factory primer prepares the surface for painting. Depending on the paint manufacturer's system, an additional primer may be used, followed by two coats of water-based or synthetic paint.
What do the product dimensions and material construction mean?
The Pilaster Column Ionic Capital measures 14x28x19 cm. This compact size creates a defined capital transition above the pilaster shaft without excessive projection. Its closed-cell rigid PU construction is lightweight and has a density of 150-220 kg/m³. The weight of the piece and the connection loads during installation must be taken into account, and the fixing method should be selected according to the surface and application conditions. The product is intended for decoration and must not replace a structural element.
Why choose this capital instead of plaster or wood?
The closed-cell PU construction provides a lighter decorative solution than plaster and greater resistance to impact. Compared with wood, it is more resistant to moisture and decay, offering advantages against insect damage and damp-related problems. The moulded surface helps produce fine architectural transitions consistently. The product can be cut, filled, sanded and painted. Its purpose is decorative, however, and it should not be expected to carry the structural load of a column or pilaster.
What colours can be used for the Pilaster Column Ionic Capital?
The product has a paintable surface, and the factory primer prepares it for painting. It can therefore be finished with water-based or synthetic paint to match the colour scheme of a living room, entrance hall, hotel lobby or villa facade. A colour matching the wall creates a more integrated appearance between the capital and pilaster, while a contrasting or darker tone highlights the moulded surface. The use of an additional primer is left to the customer's preference according to the paint manufacturer's system. Polure does not provide a warranty for the paint or application system used.
