Classical Facade Capitals
Polure classical facade capitals bring historic architectural authenticity and intricate ornamentation to building exteriors and entrance colonnades. Crafted from high-density rigid polyurethane (150-220 kg/m³), these ornate column crowns combine wood-like mechanical durability with low weight. Their hollow inner construction fits over steel structural cores, while closed-cell water absorption under 1% prevents freeze-thaw damage, rotting, and mold growth across temperatures ranging from -100 °C / +80 °C. Rated B2 for fire safety, every capital comes factory-coated with a white acrylic primer. Installation is performed using continuous polyurethane assembly adhesive on contact edges, reinforced with mechanical countersunk screws, filled with exterior acrylic putty, and painted with UV-resistant facade paint.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are Polure classical facade capitals structural load-bearing components?
No, Polure classical facade capitals are decorative non-load-bearing elements. Structural loads must be supported by an internal steel column core.
What material is used for classical facade capitals?
They are manufactured from high-density rigid polyurethane (150-220 kg/m³), offering B2 fire rating and high impact resistance.
Can concrete be poured inside a classical facade capital?
No, concrete must NEVER be poured inside polyurethane capital shells as curing heat and expansion will damage the polyurethane.
How are classical facade capitals installed?
Apply continuous PU assembly adhesive on contact edges, secure with mechanical screws, fill screw holes with filler, sand, and paint.
