Classical Column Base
Polure classical column base provides a grounded, statuesque foundation for architectural pillars in classic and neo-classical design projects. Precision-molded from high-density rigid polyurethane (150-220 kg/m³), it delivers exceptional impact resistance and structural firmness similar to dense wood or stone, while remaining lightweight for easy alignment and installation. Its closed-cell composition ensures moisture absorption remains below 1%, protecting the pedestal from swelling, rotting, or harboring mold in humid indoor or exposed outdoor environments. Operable within extreme temperatures from -100 °C / +80 °C, it carries a Class B2 flame-retardant rating and comes pre-primed in white acrylic. Mounting requires applying continuous polyurethane assembly adhesive across structural contacts and mechanical countersunk screws. Gaps and screw recesses are filled, sanded with 180-220 grit, and painted.
Frequently Asked Questions
What material is used to make Polure classical column base?
It is crafted from high-density rigid polyurethane (150-220 kg/m³), offering stone-like toughness, light weight, and Class B2 fire safety.
Can the classical column base be used outdoors?
Yes. With water absorption under 1% and thermal endurance from -100 °C / +80 °C, it will not rot or decay when painted with UV exterior paint.
How is the classical column base installed?
Install with continuous polyurethane assembly adhesive and countersunk screws. Silicone is forbidden. Sand joints with 180-220 grit before topcoating.
Is the classical column base load-bearing?
No, it is a decorative element and non-load-bearing. Load-bearing pillars require an internal steel support frame.
