Exterior Facade Column

An exterior facade column is a cylindrical or half-bodied decorative polyurethane element used on the outer surface of buildings at entrances, balconies or between windows. It creates a vertical accent on the facade and emphasises the entrance areas. It usually consists of a body, a capital (column head) and a base. The polyurethane material is lightweight and applied to the facade with mounting adhesive; thanks to its hollow body it can also cover real load-bearing columns. It resists moisture, sun and temperature swings; it does not crack or blister and can be painted with exterior facade paint. Being lighter than stone or concrete makes installation easier. Because it is mould-cast, the body cross-section and surface are the same on every piece. Polure produces the exterior facade column in different diameter and height options, from polyurethane suited to outdoor use.

How is the column diameter selected?

There are two scenarios. For a free-standing decorative column, the diameter is proportioned to ceiling height and facade width. When cladding an existing concrete pier or steel profile, the widest point of the element is measured and the inner diameter of the column must exceed it; otherwise the cladding will not close at the vertical joints. If a load will rest on it, the diameter is set to leave enough space for the internal steel frame. As diameter grows, material volume and price rise.

Which shaft and capital combinations exist?

Shafts are produced in three main models: plain (minimalist), fluted (longitudinal grooves, classical order) and helix (twisted). Capitals are Doric (plain geometric), Ionic (volute scrolls) and Corinthian (acanthus leaves), sized to the diameter. At the base, a standard plinth or a patterned column foot can be chosen. In quotations the trio is defined together: capital + shaft + base.

How is a load-bearing position planned?

A polyurethane column is hollow; it cannot be expected to carry marble, concrete or roof loads. Where a load exists, a steel frame is run inside and carries it. Filling the column with concrete is not recommended. In steel construction, thermal expansion joints must be absorbed with elastic mastic so that vertical and horizontal movement of the metal is not transferred to the polyurethane surface as hairline cracks. A 240 cm shaft is cross-screwed at top, middle and bottom.
