Architectural Pillar Capital
Polure architectural pillar capitals crown decorative columns with Classical grandeur and sculptural refinement. Crafted from high-density rigid polyurethane (150-220 kg/m³), each capital exhibits wood-like mechanical strength and impact resistance without adding heavy weight to building structures. Designed with a hollow center, they fit seamlessly over internal steel structural supports or decorative column shafts, functioning as non-load-bearing decorative tops. Polyurethane's closed-cell structure keeps water absorption under 1%, protecting the element against rot, mold, and weather degradation in environments from -100 °C / +80 °C. Factory-primed with white acrylic primer, installation requires continuous polyurethane assembly adhesive on contact edges and countersunk mechanical screws.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Polure architectural pillar capital support structural weight?
No, the architectural pillar capital is strictly decorative and non-load-bearing. All structural loads must be carried by an internal steel profile.
Can concrete be poured inside an architectural pillar capital?
No, pouring concrete inside polyurethane column components is forbidden as concrete expansion will crack the polyurethane.
Is the architectural pillar capital resistant to humidity and rain?
Yes, with a water absorption rate under 1% and stability between -100 °C / +80 °C, it is completely weatherproof for indoor and outdoor use.
How is the architectural pillar capital installed?
Apply continuous PU assembly adhesive along contact edges, secure with countersunk screws, fill screw holes with filler, and paint with exterior paint.
