Round Fiberglass Columns
Fiberglass columns from Crown Column & Millwork are a satisfying
combination of modern-day technology and low maintenance care. Each column shaft is
produced with the lower one third straight and the upper two thirds tapered, creating a
correct architectural entasis. Entasis, attributed to ancient Greek architecture, is the
slight convex curving of the column shaft resulting in a most pleasing appearance.
Fiberglass columns are available in plain and fluted shafts. Our fluted round columns
are cast fluted, resulting in a crisp, deep and architecturally correct Ionic flute. Fluted
columns are available in a wide range of sizes from 6” through 16” diameter. The columns
are a composition of cast glass-reinforced polymers with exceptional strength and durability.
Priming and painting with an oil-based or latex coating is all that is necessary after
installation. They exceed requirements for flame spread and smoke density (SDA) and
each has a NFPA class A rating and BOCA Type I rating for flame spread and
smoke development.
Non-tapered plain cast columns are available in 8”, 10”, 12” and 14” diameters up
to 16’ in length. All Crown fiberglass columns come with a limited lifetime warranty
for material and workmanship when properly installed.
