IONIC ORDER (GREEK ERECHTHEUM)
ARCHITECTURAL WOOD COLUMNS
(ONE-THIRD FLUTED, TAPERED)
DESIGN 143
– CUSTOM COLUMN SIZING –
MATERIAL & MANUFACTURING PROCESS
Western Red Cedar, Clear Heart Redwood, pine, poplar, & mahogany are just
a few of the popular wood species utilized for our Architectural Wood Columns.
If you desire another wood species, please inform us, and it will be our pleasure
to accomodate. To ensure that our wood columns are of the highest quality, we
process each order with individualized care and attention. First, the column's
height and diameter are entered into our computer system which has been
programmed to calculate the exact proportions necessary to produce your
beautiful exterior wood columns and architectural interior wood columns.
COLUMN SHAFT
Fluted, Tapered column shaft. The Greek Erechtheum column shaft is
architecturally correct according to Vignola's classical column specifications.
Select from our wide selection of column design shapes to match your
architectural style and project specifications. The one-third Greek Erechtheum
Column has "stopped fluting" one-third of the way up the column shaft, with
the top two-thirds being plain. This column has endured as one of the finest
examples of the classical column. We use Western Red Cedar, Clear Heart
Redwood, pine, poplar, mahogany, teak or any other wood species desired. Wood
materials are available in both solid board and finger-joint form. Each column
is made to your exact specifications. We recommend using either finger-joint
redwood or cedar for interior columns that will be stained or left natural with a
clear protective finish to display the grain of the wood.
CAPITAL, BASE MOLDING & PLINTH
CAPITAL: Design 143 is characterized by a Greek Erechtheum capital.
Standard materials are polyurethane for the smaller column sizes and fiberglass
for the larger column sizes. Load-bearing capabilities. Wood capitals are available
for all sizes at an upcharge. We are able to replicate for historic restoration if you
have as much as a quarter of the existing capital including corner and any side
design. Please contact a Chadsworth Sales Consultant for additional capital materials
and information. BASE MOLDING: Design 143 has an Ionic (Attic) Base. Base
materials follow the same parameters as the capitals. PLINTH: We offer a variety
of Plinth materials, specific to your column sizes and interior or exterior applications.
