Load-Bearing Architectural Columns by Outwater

1 MIN READ

Outwater’s newest architectural columns are made from nonporous inorganic composite fiberglass reinforced resins and marble dust that allow them to function as load-bearing interior and exterior columns that stand up to the elements and require minimal maintenance. The columns don’t need to be painted or primed and can be cut to size and installed with standard equipment. Unlike wood columns, these don’t require ventilation. The columns come in four colors, a range of sizes, and a handful of shapes—round; non-tapered plain and square; fluted; and raised-panel versions—all with Tuscan caps and bases.
