The P5050D Pilaster Capital is a decorative architectural element that completes the upper section of a pilaster shaft. Measuring 69 x 69 x 32 cm, it helps the capital section appear balanced and clearly defined on pilasters with broad surfaces. The product is not a structural element; it is applied as a decorative covering over an existing column, wall or pilaster surface.
This polyurethane decorative product is made from rigid polyurethane with a closed-cell structure. With a density of 150-220 kg/m³, the material is lighter than alternatives such as plaster, solid wood and concrete while maintaining the decorative form. Its water absorption rate is below 1%. The material can be used in interior and exterior projects when suitable paint and installation details are selected.
The capital profile of the P5050D creates a visual transition between the pilaster shaft and its upper section. Its 69 cm width and depth create a noticeable framing effect on broad facade surfaces and around entrances, while its 32 cm height keeps the proportions controlled around doors and windows. The factory-primed surface is prepared for water-based or synthetic paint. It should not be left unpainted outdoors, and UV-resistant paint must be used.
The pilaster capital can be used at villa entrances, around doors and windows, in hotel lobbies, restaurant entrances, shop facades and homes with a classical architectural character. Indoors, it completes pilaster shafts in living rooms, entrance halls, around staircases and in commercial spaces with high ceilings. Outdoors, it adds a decorative upper finish to an existing column or wall surface. The product's own weight and connection loads must be taken into account, and it should not be expected to provide structural support.
Before installation, the surface must be clean, dry and sound. The pieces are prepared according to the installation dimensions, and 45° mitre cuts are used where required. Polyurethane (PU) mounting adhesive is applied for fixing, and mechanical fixing with screws is mandatory. Suitable mechanical support should also be assessed for wide or high-level applications. Joints are filled with filler and sanded with 180-220 grit paper. An additional primer may be applied if preferred, according to the paint system, followed by two coats of paint. The factory primer prepares the surface for painting; the paint manufacturer's primer recommendations should be followed for the purposes of its warranty conditions.
Compared with plaster, the product is lighter and more flexible against impact, while offering a more suitable decorative option than materials such as wood and MDF in terms of exposure to moisture. Its rigid structure helps preserve fine architectural lines. Reaction to fire information must be assessed under B2 (DIN 4102-1) and phosphorus-based flame retardant. A clean, properly prepared surface, suitable PU adhesive, mechanical fixing and regular paint maintenance support the service life of the installation.

- Maintenance frequency depends on the paint used and the conditions to which the building is exposed
Can the P5050D Pilaster Capital be used outdoors?
Yes, the P5050D can be used for exterior decoration. It must be treated as a decorative capital applied over an existing structural element, not as a load-bearing column. It should not be left unpainted outdoors and must be coated with UV-resistant paint. Joints and screw points must be sealed with exterior-grade filler. Before installation, the surface must be sound, dry and clean, and the product's own weight and connection loads must be taken into account.
How is the Pilaster Capital installed and painted?
After the surface has been cleaned and dried, prepare the product according to the installation dimensions. Make any necessary cuts with a 45° mitre. Use polyurethane (PU) mounting adhesive and secure the product mechanically with screws; do not use silicone. Fill the joints, smooth them with 180-220 grit sandpaper and apply an additional primer if preferred according to the paint system. Finish with two coats of paint. UV-resistant paint must be selected for exterior applications.
How durable and heavy is the P5050D?
The P5050D is made from rigid polyurethane with a closed-cell structure. Its density is 150-220 kg/m³, making it a lightweight decorative element compared with options such as plaster, concrete or solid wood. Its water absorption rate is below 1%, and its dimensional stability test range is -20 °C / +70 °C. The actual installation weight must be assessed according to the application details and connection method. Suitable PU adhesive, mechanical fixing and appropriate paint maintenance support long-term use.
Why choose polyurethane for a pilaster capital instead of plaster or wood?
Polyurethane offers a lighter and more impact-flexible alternative to plaster for pilaster capitals. Compared with wood and MDF, it is more suitable in terms of exposure to moisture and decay. Its closed-cell structure helps keep water absorption below 1%. The rigid surface supports the preservation of the decorative profile. However, the product is not structural; it must only be applied as a decorative covering over an existing structural element and secured with mechanical connections suitable for its own weight.
What colour is the P5050D supplied in, and can it be painted afterwards?
The P5050D is supplied with a paintable surface, and the final colour is determined by the paint system selected for the application. The factory primer prepares the surface for painting, but paint manufacturers may not provide a warranty for applications carried out without their own primer. Therefore, an additional primer is optional and the choice is left to the customer. Water-based or synthetic paint can be used indoors. UV-resistant paint is required outdoors. Polure does not provide a warranty for the paints used and accepts no responsibility arising from the painting application.
