Fiberglass Columns, often referred to as
FRP (Fiber-Reinforced Polymer) Columns or composite columns, are high-performance architectural elements used for both structural support and decorative purposes. Fiberglass columns are manufactured using a composite material, typically combining glass fibers (strands or cloth) with a polyester or polymer resin matrix, and often an inorganic filler like calcium carbonate. This composition provides exceptional durability, weather resistance, and strength superior to traditional materials.
Ideal
Applications for Fiberglass Columns:
- Porches & Verandas: The most common use—replacing old, rotting, or failing wood posts with structural, weather-resistant support.
- Entryways: Creating a grand, classic, or modern focal point at the main entrance of any building.
- Pergolas and Patios: Providing robust support and design flair for covered outdoor living structures.
- Interiors: Adding high-end, classical architectural detail in foyers, at staircases, or in grand halls.
- Basement/Lally Column Covers: Utilizing split columns that wrap around and conceal an essential but unsightly steel support pole in a finished basement.
- Commercial & Historic Buildings: Replicating the classic look of traditional architecture on hotels, offices, and government buildings without the associated maintenance issues.
- The Historic Porch Overhaul: Replacing failing, load-bearing wood posts with structural, round, tapered fiberglass columns on an older Massachusetts home.
- The Custom Portico: Installing square, non-tapered fiberglass columns at the corners of a new, large, covered outdoor patio or portico structure.
- The Finished Basement: Using split column wraps to conceal steel lally columns, providing an elegant finished look indoors.
- The Grand Commercial Entrance: Utilizing extra-large diameter, high-capacity structural fiberglass columns for a new façade on a municipal building or bank.
