Fluted Column Base
Polure fluted column bases anchor decorative structural columns and half-pilasters with robust classical plinths and torus moldings. Molded from rigid high-density polyurethane (150-220 kg/m³), these bases provide high mechanical impact resistance to withstand kicking, floor cleaning, and weather wear. Closed-cell polymer construction limits water absorption under 1%, protecting column bases against ground moisture, standing water, and rot in indoor or outdoor environments (-100 °C / +80 °C). Available for standard column diameters (20/30/40/50/60/80 cm), they come factory-coated with a white acrylic primer. Installation requires fitting around steel structural posts—NEVER pour concrete inside—using polyurethane assembly adhesive on joint lines and mechanical screw anchors. Fill screw holes with acrylic putty, sand smooth with 180-220 grit paper, and coat with two coats of paint.
Frequently Asked Questions
What density material is used in Polure fluted column bases?
Polure fluted column bases are molded from rigid high-density polyurethane (150-220 kg/m³), resisting impacts at floor level.
Are fluted column bases resistant to floor washing and water?
Yes, with water absorption below 1%, these bases do not absorb moisture or rot when floor cleaning or raining.
Can concrete be poured inside a fluted column base?
No, concrete must NEVER be poured inside polyurethane column bases as curing expansion will rupture the casing.
What adhesive is required for mounting fluted column bases?
Continuous polyurethane assembly adhesive must be applied along all joinery and contact surfaces. Silicone is forbidden.
How should fluted column bases be painted after installation?
Lightly sand with 180-220 grit paper, fill screw heads with acrylic putty, and apply two coats of paint.
