Primed Pilaster Capital
Polure primed pilaster capitals provide authentic classical detailing and architectural proportion for interior wall pilasters and exterior building entrances. Manufactured from high-density rigid polyurethane (150-220 kg/m³), these capitals deliver sharp Doric, Ionic, or Corinthian scrollwork with wood-like mechanical durability while remaining light enough for effortless single-person installation. With a closed-cell matrix absorbing less than 1% water, the capitals are impervious to moisture, rot, warping, or insect damage across temperatures ranging from -100 °C / +80 °C. Rated B2 for fire safety, every capital comes factory-pre-treated with a white acrylic primer coat, ensuring optimal paint adhesion. Designed as hollow decorative caps, they must not support structural weight. Installation involves applying continuous polyurethane assembly adhesive on rear surfaces and securing with countersunk screws. Fill screw holes with acrylic putty and sand smooth prior to applying water-based or acrylic paints.
