Classical Acanthus Capital
Polure classical acanthus capitals feature ornate botanical leaf carving to top classical column and pilaster shafts with authentic antique elegance. Crafted from high-density rigid polyurethane (150-220 kg/m³), these capitals replicate intricate acanthus relief detail while maintaining wood-like structural toughness without heavy weight. Closed-cell physical properties limit water absorption to under 1%, safeguarding the capital against rot, swelling, and mold when exposed to exterior conditions or humid interiors. Capable of withstanding temperatures from -100 °C / +80 °C with B2 fire safety classification, each piece arrives pre-primed in technical white acrylic paint. Mounting requires continuous polyurethane assembly adhesive paired with countersunk mechanical screws.
