– 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
Plain, Tapered column shaft. The Tower of the Winds wood column shaft is
architecturally correct according to Vignola's classical column specifications.
The length and placement of fluting can be customized to achieve various
design styles. Fluting may be either at the top or bottom one-third, one-half,
or two-thirds of the column shaft. 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 117 is characterized by a Greek Corinthian capital also
known as (Tower of the Winds) capital. Standard materials are polyurethane
for the smaller column sizes and fiberglass for the larger column sizes. 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 117 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.
