The P5980B circular column base is an exquisite architectural element that seamlessly connects the vertical lines of classical and neoclassical design with the floor, enhancing both structural integrity and aesthetic appeal. Engineered to establish a powerful foundation for large-scale columns, this base bridges visual gaps at column transitions to add depth to any space. It features smooth, stepped contours that perfectly balance vertical lines in both interior and exterior architectural applications.
With dimensions of 975 mm in width, 975 mm in depth, and 451 mm in height, this base offers the perfect scale for monumental projects. Manufactured from high-density (150-220 kg/m³) rigid polyurethane (PU), it boasts a surface hardness comparable to wood yet remains remarkably lightweight compared to traditional marble or concrete alternatives. This lightweight design significantly simplifies installation and prevents adding unnecessary structural load to the building. Thanks to its closed-cell structure, the water absorption rate is below 1%, preventing swelling, rotting, or degradation in humid environments.
Visually, the design reflects a classic Attic-style column base profile featuring overlapping torus rings. Its flawless circular contours and smooth surface finish ensure a seamless transition to the column shaft. With dimensional stability tested between -20 °C and +70 °C, this durable piece maintains its dimensional stability, preserving its original form for years with resistance to cracking or expansion.
The product comes pre-primed from the factory, which facilitates excellent adhesion for the topcoat. However, since paint manufacturers do not guarantee applications done without their own primers, applying an additional primer before the topcoat is optional and left to the user's discretion. Thanks to its paintable surface, it can be easily coated with water-based or synthetic paints; for exterior applications, UV-resistant paints must be used to protect against sunlight. Free from the crumbling associated with plaster, this durable architectural element is an indispensable choice for prestigious, long-lasting projects.
