The P5240C50T classical column capital is a premium architectural element designed to crown large-scale column designs and achieve a cohesive aesthetic in architectural projects. Measuring 455x910x557 mm, this product perfectly bridges vertical lines with horizontal ceiling transitions, especially in wide-span column structures. Manufactured from high-density rigid polyurethane, this model offers an exceptionally lightweight structure compared to its stone or concrete counterparts, ensuring ease of installation.
The rigid polyurethane material with a density of 150-220 kg/m³ used in production provides a durable surface with the hardness of wood. Thanks to its closed-cell structure, its water absorption rate is below 1%, reducing structural issues such as moisture, mold, rot, and swelling. The product is shipped factory-primed in white. While this factory primer coat facilitates topcoat adhesion, applying an additional primer coat before installation is optional and left to the installer's preference, as paint manufacturers' own priming standards and warranty coverages may vary.
The striking visual details, including symmetrical acanthus leaves, circular volute (scroll) motifs, and elegant rosette reliefs at the top, give the product a deep, three-dimensional character. Thanks to high-precision molding technology, imperfections or loss of detail commonly found in traditional plaster casts are avoided. Every curve and sharp line brings dynamism to the facade through the interplay of light and shadow.
With a width of 91 cm, this massive capital model is designed to be paired with column shafts in grand villa entrances, hotel lobbies, spacious wedding halls, and prestigious public buildings. It can be positioned indoors as a decorative load-bearing support in high-ceilinged halls, or outdoors to emphasize grand building entrances.
Saving labor and time during installation due to its lightweight nature, the product is securely fixed to the surface using Polure Polfix adhesive and mechanical screwing. Once screw heads and joints are puttied and sanded, it is ready for painting. For exterior applications, it must be coated with a UV-resistant topcoat paint to prevent any adverse effects of sunlight on the material.

Can polyurethane column capitals be used on exteriors?
Yes, the P5240C50T column capital is fully suitable for exterior use. Thanks to its closed-cell structure, it is unaffected by rain, snow, and moisture, and will not crack or rot. However, to prevent yellowing caused by sunlight outdoors, it must be painted with a UV-resistant exterior paint.
Which adhesive should be used during installation?
Only Polure Polfix polyurethane adhesive should be used for installation. Silicone-based adhesives do not provide a long-lasting bond. Additionally, due to the product's weight and volume, mechanical fastening with screws in addition to the adhesive is mandatory for safety.
Should the product be primed before installation?
Our product is shipped factory-primed and the surface is ready for painting. However, since paint manufacturers do not guarantee applications made without their own primers, applying an additional primer coat is entirely at the user's discretion.
What are the advantages compared to plaster column capitals?
Polyurethane column capitals are extremely lightweight compared to plaster, reducing the risk of breakage during installation. The sharpness of detail and depth of motifs are much crisper than plaster casts. Additionally, they are moisture-resistant, will not crumble or crack over time, and are much easier to transport and install.
Can the P5240C50T column capital be painted?
Yes, our product can be painted with any water-based or synthetic paint. Thanks to its factory primer, paint adhesion is high. For interiors, choose water-based indoor paints that match your decor, and for exteriors, opt for weather-resistant elastic outdoor paints.
