Helix Pillar Body Shaft
The Polure helix pillar body shaft introduces dramatic twisted spiral fluting to classical entrance porticos, verandahs, and luxury interior halls. Precision-molded from high-density rigid polyurethane (150-220 kg/m³), this hollow decorative shaft replicates intricate masonry carving while offering superior impact resistance and easy handling. Available in standard diameters of 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 80 cm at a standard height of 240 cm, it pairs seamlessly with Doric, Ionic, or Corinthian capitals and bases. Its closed-cell composition ensures water absorption stays below 1%, rendering it completely immune to rot, swelling, mold, or moisture breakdown. Rated B2 for self-extinguishing flame retardancy, it withstands thermal conditions from -100 °C / +80 °C. Note that all Polure pillar shafts are non-load-bearing; structural support requires an internal steel profile (never pour concrete inside). Installation involves jointing with continuous polyurethane assembly adhesive and countersunk screws, followed by seam filling, 180-220 grit sanding, and painting.
