Short Classical Column
Polure short classical columns provide decorative elevation, architectural accent framing, and classic grace for interior pedestals and exterior low balustrades. Manufactured from high-density rigid polyurethane (150-220 kg/m³), these hollow columns are lightweight non-load-bearing elements that will not overload floor structures or balcony slabs. Featuring a closed-cell structural composition with water absorption under 1%, they resist moisture, freeze-thaw cycles, rot, and mold outdoors. Each column arrives with a factory-applied white acrylic primer coat. For outdoor installation, finishing with UV-resistant elastomeric exterior paint is required to prevent discoloration. Mounting involves fitting halves around internal steel structural supports if load-bearing capacity is needed (never pour concrete inside), applying polyurethane assembly adhesive along joint seams, and securing mechanically with countersunk screws. Joints are putty-filled, sanded smooth with 180-220 grit, and painted.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Polure short classical column support structural roof loads?
No, it is a hollow, non-load-bearing decorative column. For structural weight support, an internal steel profile must be installed inside.
Is it permitted to pour concrete inside the short classical column?
Never pour concrete inside polyurethane column shafts, as concrete expansion and moisture will break the material.
What density material is used for the short classical column?
It is crafted from high-density rigid polyurethane (150-220 kg/m³), providing wood-like impact strength and a B2 fire safety class.
How is the short classical column installed?
Fit around internal support structures, apply polyurethane assembly adhesive on joint seams, and fix with screws. Putty, sand, and paint.
What paint is recommended for outdoor installation of short classical columns?
Outdoors, an elastic, UV-resistant exterior paint must be applied over the factory primer to prevent discoloration.
