Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are PU columns?
A: PU columns are polyurethane molded columns — typically Tuscan, Doric, Ionic, or Corinthian — that replicate carved stone or wood at a fraction of the weight. They ship in two or three halves for assembly around an internal structural post or as a hollow decorative shell.
Q: Are PU columns load-bearing?
A: Standard decorative PU columns are not structural on their own. They are designed as a 2- or 3-piece shell that wraps an internal load-bearing post (steel, wood, or reinforced concrete). For structural applications, specify "structural PU columns" with an internal steel core — these are engineered and tested to published load ratings.
Q: How tall should decorative columns be?
A: For a standard 8 ft (2.4 m) ceiling, use a 96-inch (2.4 m) column shaft plus capital and base, totaling about 100–104 inches overall. For 10 ft (3 m) ceilings, use a 120-inch shaft. Custom heights are available up to 20 ft (6 m) for atrium and lobby installations.
Q: How do you install Field-tested criteria for choosing a architectural columns?
A: Mount the base plate to the floor with anchor bolts. If structural, set a steel post first; if decorative, mount an internal PVC pipe for rigidity. Assemble the two or three PU column halves around the post, glue the seams with PU adhesive, and clamp for 30 minutes. Mount the capital and base with construction adhesive. Fill and sand the vertical seam, then paint.
