Architectural Column Decoration
Polure architectural column decorations encompass decorative capitals, pedestals, pilasters, and column shafts designed to elevate residential and commercial entrances. Engineered from high-density rigid polyurethane (150-220 kg/m³), these hollow elements provide rich classical relief without physical weight or fragility. The closed-cell polymer construction exhibits under 1% water absorption, preventing decay, rot, and mold growth in interior or outdoor environments. Classified with B2 fire resistance and operating across -100 °C / +80 °C, they arrive pre-coated in technical white acrylic primer. Available across standard 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 80 cm diameters with a standard 240 cm height, in full round or half wall (pilaster) options. REMINDER: Decorative column elements are NON-LOAD-BEARING; structural loads require an internal steel post, and concrete MUST NEVER be poured inside.
Frequently Asked Questions
What elements are included in Polure architectural column decorations?
Column decorations include decorative capitals (Doric, Ionic, Corinthian), shafts (smooth, fluted, spiral), and pedestal bases.
Are Polure architectural column decorations load-bearing?
No, they are hollow decorative elements and NON-LOAD-BEARING; structural loads must be carried by an internal steel core.
Is it safe to pour concrete inside decorative column shafts?
NEVER pour concrete inside polyurethane column shafts; moisture expansion will fracture the material.
How should outdoor column decorations be painted?
Although factory-primed, outdoor columns must be coated with elastic, UV-resistant exterior paint to prevent solar weathering.
