STRUCTURAL SIMPLICITY
Classic Fluted Square Porch Columns
This column design combines function and beauty for an end product that adds value to your residential or commercial project.
Each column is spun cast from our durable, paint-grade premium fiberglass composite material - which is load-bearing, rot-resistant, insect-resistant, weatherproof, and comes with a Limited Lifetime Warranty. Longevity due to a high-quality material is an important factor that Brockwell's fluted boxed columns live up to.
The column shaft is square, fluted, non-tapered and has nominal dimensions. Both the capital and the base molding / plinth are Tuscan Order and are fabricated from the same material as the shaft. The astragal (neck ring) comes as a loose, separate piece and is optional. Please specify if you would like to include an astragal.

MATERIAL
Composite mixture composed of fiberglass, polyester resin, and marble dust (calcium carbonate filler). These columns are paint-grade & load-bearing. They have a Class A fire rating.
Both the Tuscan capital & the base molding/plinth are made from this material as well.
MANUFACTURING
Spun cast from our existing column molds. Because of our rotational manufacturing process, the composite mixture will solidify into a durable, hard cast-stone-like surface.
CUSTOM
We are able to create custom column molds to match your specific size and/or shape requirements. Contact an experienced Brockwell associate to review your specifications.
