Exterior Pillar Top
Polure exterior pillar tops provide classical capital crowning, Doric, Ionic, or Corinthian detailing, and robust weather resistance to exterior porch pillars, fence posts, and entrance colonnades. Manufactured from high-density rigid polyurethane (150-220 kg/m³), this pillar cap delivers wood-like mechanical toughness and will not crack or dent during severe hail or extreme temperature fluctuations. Featuring closed-cell composition with less than 1% water absorption, it prevents moisture penetration, rot, swelling, and algae growth under harsh outdoor exposure. Formulated to perform in temperatures from -100 °C / +80 °C with B2 fire safety compliance, every pillar top arrives factory-primed with a white acrylic technical primer. Note that polyurethane pillar tops are strictly DECORATIVE and NON-LOAD-BEARING; do not pour concrete inside. Mount using continuous polyurethane assembly adhesive on contact faces AND joints, secure with countersunk mechanical screws, fill with facade putty, sand (180-220 grit), and paint with elastic exterior UV paint.
Frequently Asked Questions
What material is used in the Polure exterior pillar top?
The Polure exterior pillar top is manufactured from high-density rigid polyurethane (150-220 kg/m³), providing timber-like durability and a B2 fire rating.
Will an exterior pillar top withstand hail and extreme frost?
Yes, with water absorption below 1% and thermal stability from -100 °C / +80 °C, it will not dent in hail or crack in freezing temperatures.
Can an exterior pillar top support structural roof loads?
No, Polure pillar tops are decorative and non-load-bearing. An internal steel core must be used for structural load-bearing.
What paint should be applied to an exterior pillar top?
Outdoor installations must be coated with an elastic, UV-resistant exterior topcoat paint over the factory white primer.
