Polyurethane Half Column Shafts
A half column shaft is the vertically split, cylindrical middle section of a polyurethane column, excluding the capital and base. Designed to mount directly onto wall surfaces, it is ideal for creating a classic pilaster look, framing doors and arches, or concealing unsightly cables and pipes. Significantly lighter than traditional plaster or wood alternatives, our polyurethane half column shafts are highly resistant to moisture and impacts. They will not warp, crack, or swell in outdoor environments, can be painted with any standard paint, and are easy to cut using basic hand tools. Installation is quick and simple, requiring only strong construction adhesive. Polure offers high-density half column shafts in both fluted and smooth surface options, custom-manufactured to match your project's technical specifications.
