Classical Polyurethane Column
Polure classical polyurethane columns bring timeless Greco-Roman grandeur to exterior entrance porticos, interior grand halls, and garden pavilions. Engineered from high-density rigid polyurethane (150-220 kg/m³), these columns feature a hollow interior designed strictly for decorative cladding over existing load-bearing steel or timber posts. Available in full-round or half-wall pilaster configurations with smooth or fluted shafts, standard diameters span 20 to 80 cm at a standard height of 240 cm. With a closed-cell composition and less than 1% water absorption, they will not rot, swell, or split under weather exposure. Operating from -100 °C / +80 °C with B2 fire retardancy, installation requires PU assembly adhesive, countersunk mechanical screws, and UV paint outdoors.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are Polure classical polyurethane columns load-bearing?
No, Polure columns are hollow and purely decorative. Structural loads must be supported by an internal steel or concrete column. Concrete must NEVER be poured inside.
What diameters and configurations are available for classical columns?
Standard diameters are 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, and 80 cm with a standard height of 240 cm, available as full round or half pilaster walls.
Can classical polyurethane columns be installed outdoors?
Yes, their water absorption is under 1% and thermal stability ranges from -100 °C / +80 °C. Outdoor mounting requires elastic UV-resistant exterior paint.
How are classical columns installed around structural posts?
Half-column sections are joined around the internal steel post using continuous PU assembly adhesive and secured with countersunk screws.
