Half Columns, Split Columns, Column Covers

Column Covers also called column surrounds or column wraps are essentially a whole column split in half for reassembly around a structural support.  Similarly, Half Columns are full columns split in half for use as Half Columns or Pilasters. All of our columns: Fiberglass, Polymer Stone, Polyurethane, and Wood, can be split and used to surround lolly columns, wood posts, etc. or be used as Half Columns or Pilasters. Our Polyurethane Columns (picture below) are the most accomodating because the columns are actually manufactured in 2 halves and then assembled into full columns so if a customer needs a split column or half columns, we simply do not assemble the column: Each half comes with an interlocking edge which allows for easy reassembly around any support. The Cap and Base are then split using regular wood working tools and assembled around the column shaft. Since our Polyurethane columns come primed with 2 layers of high quality primer, after some touch-ups to the seam, the column is ready for final paint finish. All of the other column types do not come with the interlocking edge but are frequently used as Column Covers.

The Column Cover or Column Surround or Column Wrap pictured below is a Polyurethane Square Column. As mentioned previously, this type of Column is available in all of our column materials: Fiberglass, Polyurethane, Polymer Stone, and Wood. When requested, we will split our columns only into 2 equal halves for use around structural members or as half columns except for our fiberglass column line (see fiberglass plan types at bottom of page) Click the following link to learn more about the different columns that we offer: Columns

The Half Column or Pilaster pictured below is from our Polymer Stone Column line; however, as mentioned previously, all of our column types (Polymer Stone, Fiberglass, Polyurethane, and Wood) can be provided as half columns. Click on the following link to be redirected to our Column page: Columns

Our Fiberglass Columns can be provided in all of the Plan Types pictured below. Click the following link to be redirected to the fiberglass columns page: Fiberglass Columns
