Acanthus Column Head
Polure acanthus column heads deliver classical Corinthian architectural detail and artistic elegance to interior and exterior column projects. Manufactured from high-density rigid polyurethane (150-220 kg/m³), these decorative capital tops combine intricate relief carving with robust impact resistance. The hollow interior design ensures easy fitting around existing structural supports or decorative column shafts, while remaining non-load-bearing. Polyurethane's closed-cell construction keeps water absorption under 1%, protecting the element against rot, cracking, and outdoor weathering in temperatures from -100 °C / +80 °C. Pre-primed with factory white acrylic primer, installation requires continuous polyurethane assembly adhesive on contact joints and mechanical screw fixation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Polure acanthus column head carry structural weight?
No, the acanthus column head is strictly decorative and non-load-bearing. Any structural load must be supported by an internal steel profile or structural post.
Can concrete be poured inside an acanthus column head?
No, pouring concrete inside polyurethane column elements is strictly forbidden as expansion during curing will rupture the material.
Is the acanthus column head suitable for outdoor installation?
Yes, with water absorption under 1% and stability between -100 °C / +80 °C, it withstands outdoor weathering when painted with UV-resistant facade paint.
How is the acanthus column head mounted to column shafts and walls?
Apply continuous PU assembly adhesive on all contact edges, secure with countersunk screws, fill screw holes with facade filler, and sand before painting.
