| Columns have been important
in architecture for centuries for their ability to gracefully
bear weight. Today, columns are available made from many materials,
including a traditional favorite, wood.
Wood columns are manufactured to be either load bearing
or non-load bearing. This gives you some flexibility if you
are installing wood columns for purely decorative reasons.
Wood columns are available in classical designs. You can
choose from round, tapered, or square styles. You might like
your wood columns round with flutes, or grooves that run
vertically up the column.
You can combine wood columns with wood capitals to make
a statement with your columns. The styles of wood capitals,
like wood columns, are derived from classical Greek designs.
After you install the design combination that you like, you
building project will look amazing.
Wood columns have a texture and a feel that no other type
of column can match. This texture gives wood columns a subtle
ambiance no matter where they are installed.
Wood columns also have a warmth that almost glows. Wood
columns, particularly those that are stained, are unmatchable.
When paired with wood capitals, wood columns will bring
a classical atmosphere to your building project.
