Fluted Column Shaft
Polure fluted column shafts provide classical architectural grandeur and vertical rhythm for entrance porticos, grand foyers, and exterior verandas. Manufactured from high-density rigid polyurethane (150-220 kg/m³), these decorative hollow shafts offer wood-like impact resistance without structural weight. Featuring a closed-cell polymer structure with water absorption under 1%, they will not rot, swell, or split in moisture-heavy outdoor climates or humid indoor pools. Thermally stable from -100 °C / +80 °C and rated B2 for fire safety, each shaft comes factory-precoated with a white acrylic primer. IMPORTANT: Polure columns are hollow, decorative, and strictly NON-LOAD-BEARING. An internal steel profile must be used for structural load support, and pouring concrete inside is strictly forbidden. Installation is completed with polyurethane assembly adhesive and screws.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Polure fluted column shafts support structural weight?
No. Polure fluted column shafts are decorative and strictly NON-LOAD-BEARING. Structural loads require an internal steel support profile; pouring concrete inside is strictly forbidden.
What density material is used for Polure fluted column shafts?
They are molded from high-density rigid polyurethane (150-220 kg/m³), providing wood-like mechanical durability and lightweight handling.
Can fluted column shafts be installed outdoors?
Yes. With water absorption under 1%, they endure temperatures from -100 °C / +80 °C without rotting or warping when painted with UV facade paint.
How are fluted column shafts mounted?
They are secured around a structural steel core or wall anchor using continuous polyurethane assembly adhesive on joints and mechanical screws. Silicone is forbidden.
What painting instructions apply to fluted column shafts?
Shafts come factory-primed with white acrylic primer. Indoor standard is 2 coats of water-based paint; outdoor facades require elastic UV-resistant exterior paint.
