The Pilaster Column is a decorative polyurethane architectural element that adds vertical emphasis to columns and wall surfaces. Measuring 15 x 30 x 240 cm, it is particularly suitable for areas where vertical proportions are prominent, such as high-ceilinged entrances, living rooms, hotel lobbies, and retail interiors. The product does not replace an existing structural column; it is applied as cladding and decoration over concrete, steel, or another load-bearing surface.
The Pilaster Column features a rigid, closed-cell polyurethane structure with a density of 150-220 kg/m³. Compared with plaster and solid wood, this construction is easier to handle due to its lower weight while helping the decorative surface retain its shape. The dimensional stability test range is -20 °C / +70 °C, and water absorption is below 1%. With proper installation and a suitable paint system, its dimensionally stable surface can be used in both interior and exterior decoration.
The Pilaster Column's decorative pilaster profile can be used for column cladding to create a vertical architectural frame effect. Its 240 cm height creates a strong uninterrupted vertical line, while the 15 x 30 cm cross-section works across different scales, from narrow entrance walls to larger column surfaces. The product is supplied with a factory primer suitable for painting. It can be finished with water-based or synthetic paint; the use of an additional primer is left to the customer's preference in accordance with the selected paint manufacturer's application and warranty requirements.
The Pilaster Column can be used in residential entrances, living room columns, around staircases, hotel lobbies, restaurants, retail display areas, and office reception spaces. Outdoors, it can strengthen the vertical architectural arrangement around windows or doors, clad columns on villa facades, or help create a classical facade composition together with a string course. UV-resistant paint is mandatory for exterior applications, and joints and screw points must be filled with exterior-grade filler.
Before installation, the surface must be clean, dry, sound, and even. Pieces are prepared with 45° mitre cuts, polyurethane (PU) mounting adhesive is applied, and screws are used for mechanical fixing. Screw heads and joints are filled, sanded with 180-220 grit sandpaper, and then finished with primer and two coats of paint. Silicone adhesive must not be used. The pilaster is decorative and does not carry structural loads; however, its own weight and the loads at the fixings must be considered, so the substrate and fixing method should be assessed before installation.
Compared with plaster, polyurethane is lighter and more tolerant of impact; compared with wood, it offers greater resistance to moisture and decay; and compared with EPS foam, it provides a harder surface with more defined detail. Because it can be filled, sanded, and repainted, the Pilaster Column offers a repairable solution for long-term decorative projects.
- The Pilaster Column is used to create vertical decorative detailing on columns and wall surfaces
- Its 240 cm height provides a strong vertical proportion in entrance halls, living rooms, stairwell walls, and high-ceilinged hotel lobbies
- The 15 x 30 cm cross-section can be used on a single column surface or in a symmetrical arrangement on opposing sides
- Indoors, painting the pilasters in the same tone as the wall creates a raised architectural effect, while a contrasting colour can make the surrounding column more prominent
- It can be used behind reception desks or around display windows in restaurants, retail spaces, and offices
- Outdoors, it can be used to clad existing columns on villa, mansion, hotel, and retail facades
- Exterior applications require UV-resistant paint, while joints and screw heads should be protected with exterior-grade filler
- The product is not a structural column; it is applied as decorative cladding over a sound column or wall surface
- The installation surface must be clean, dry, sound, and as even as possible
- Measure the layout of the Pilaster Column and mark the cutting points
- Where joints are required, prepare the pieces with 45° mitre cuts
- Use only polyurethane (PU) mounting adhesive for installation; silicone adhesive must not be used
- Mechanical fixing with screws is also required, and the fixing method must be selected according to the substrate
- For wide profiles or applications subject to higher fixing loads, suitable mechanical support should be considered
- Fill the screw heads and joints, then smooth the surface with 180-220 grit sandpaper
- Finish by applying primer and two coats of paint
- The factory primer prepares the surface for painting; whether an additional primer is needed should be determined according to the paint manufacturer's technical requirements
- Clean the Pilaster Column with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth
- Do not use abrasive sponges, stiff brushes, or chemicals that could damage the surface finish
- If cracks, bubbling, or colour changes appear in the paint, inspect the affected area
- Outdoors, regularly check the condition of the UV-resistant paint system, especially on surfaces exposed to intense sunlight and rainfall
- If necessary, damaged areas can be filled, sanded, and repainted
Can the Pilaster Column be used outdoors?
Yes. The Pilaster Column can be used outdoors as decorative cladding over existing columns and wall surfaces. Before installation, check the soundness and evenness of the surface, as well as the load capacity of the fixings. UV-resistant paint is mandatory for exterior applications. Joints and screw points must be filled with exterior-grade filler, and the painted surface should be inspected regularly according to its exposure conditions. The product is not a structural column; it is a decorative element that completes the architectural appearance.
How is the Pilaster Column installed and painted?
After preparing a clean, dry surface, cut the pieces with 45° mitre joints where required. Use polyurethane (PU) mounting adhesive and mechanically fix the pieces with screws. Silicone adhesive must not be used. Fill the joints and screw heads, smooth them with 180-220 grit sandpaper, and then apply primer followed by two coats of paint. The factory primer prepares the surface for painting; any additional primer should be selected according to the paint manufacturer's application requirements.
How durable and heavy is the Pilaster Column?
The Pilaster Column is made from rigid, closed-cell polyurethane with a density of 150-220 kg/m³. Water absorption is below 1%, and the product has high dimensional stability. Its dimensional stability has been tested between -20 °C and +70 °C. It provides a lighter decorative surface than plaster and solid wood, and a harder surface than EPS foam. The actual product weight should be assessed according to its dimensions and production details. During installation, both the product weight and the loads at the fixings must be taken into account.
Why choose polyurethane for a pilaster instead of plaster or wood?
Polyurethane pilasters are lighter and more tolerant of impact than plaster. Compared with wood, they offer greater resistance to moisture and decay, while they are harder than EPS foam and retain decorative surface details more effectively. Their closed-cell structure reduces the effect of moisture, with water absorption below 1%. The surface can also be filled, sanded, and repainted. These advantages make maintenance and repairs easier in column cladding and architectural decoration projects.
What colour is the Pilaster Column supplied in, and can it be painted?
The Pilaster Column is supplied with a factory-primed surface suitable for painting and can be finished according to the selected paint system. Water-based or synthetic paint may be used. The final colour depends on the applied paint system, not the product's original colour. Additional primer should not be treated as a mandatory product requirement; the decision should be based on the paint manufacturer's technical instructions and warranty conditions. For exterior applications, choose a paint with suitable UV resistance.
