Decorative Pillar Cap
Polure decorative pillar caps provide classic architectural crowning for exterior entry columns, porch posts, and interior decorative pilasters. Manufactured from high-density rigid polyurethane (150-220 kg/m³), these column toppers deliver impressive impact resistance and wood-like mechanical durability without structural weight concerns. Their hollow, lightweight interior fits over support posts or wall pilasters, while closed-cell construction keeps water absorption under 1%, guaranteeing zero swelling, mold, or rotting. Able to withstand temperature ranges from -100 °C / +80 °C and rated B2 for fire safety, every cap comes factory-finished with white acrylic technical primer. Installation requires dual mechanical and adhesive securing: apply continuous polyurethane assembly adhesive on joint contact areas, insert countersunk screws, fill screw holes with facade putty, sand with 180-220 grit, and finish with UV-resistant paint.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are Polure decorative pillar caps structural load-bearing components?
No, Polure decorative pillar caps are non-load-bearing architectural elements. Structural loads must be supported by an internal steel or wood core profile.
What material is used for decorative pillar caps?
They are made of high-density rigid polyurethane (150-220 kg/m³), offering B2 fire resistance, durability, and lightweight handling.
Can concrete be poured inside a decorative pillar cap?
No, concrete must NEVER be poured inside polyurethane pillar caps or column shells as curing heat and expansion will damage the polyurethane.
How are decorative pillar caps attached during installation?
Apply continuous PU assembly adhesive on contact edges, secure with mechanical screws, fill screw holes with filler, sand, and paint.
