Columns And Pilasters
Cast stone columns and pilasters.
A range of columns and pilasters inspired by the architecture of Ancient Rome and Greece.
A column will usually have an entablature of some kind to support, for example as part of a portico, temple, pavilion or classical facade.
Classical pilasters (also referred to as pillars) are rectangular in plan and are handcrafted.
The columns are designed to be non-structural elements and so are provided with hollow cores. These, if filled with reinforced concrete or used to sleeve a structural steel member, can then be used in structural situations. They are supplied in component form and should be erected on suitable foundations designed by a structural engineer to suit loadings and ground conditions.
The shaft sections should be lined with expanded polystyrene (EPS) or similar to act as an isolating medium when column cores are infilled.
Bespoke products are available on request. Consult the manufacturer for details.
Material:
- Haddonstone (Semi-dry cast limestone):
High quality semi-dry cast stone, consisting of over 50% limestone aggregate. With a surface texture similar to Portland Stone, Haddonstone is regularly used alongside or as an alternative to natural stone.
- TecStone (wet cast limestone):
High quality wet cast stone, comprising over 60% natural limestone aggregate. Denser than the Haddonstone material, TecStone is acid etched as standard to provide an attractive appearance similar to a finished natural stone. Designed to meet demanding performance criteria and can incorporate structural reinforcement and cast-in fixings. TecStone is the preferred material for architectural projects where structural performance is required.
Features and benefits:
- Different column heights are available.
- Columns are cast in rubber moulds, reducing the visibility of a single seam.
- Available in a range of standard designs or to bespoke specification.
- Can be combined with other elements.
