ENDURA-CRAFT™ SQUARE NON-TAPERED COLUMNS

Modern Fretwork Style Columns

PRESENTING OUR ENDURA-CRAFT SQUARE FRETWORK COLUMN STYLES

Combining our traditional expanded cellular PVC column wraps with our wildly popular Fretwork Wall Panels, this product line makes a statement for both interior and exterior projects. Installed with E-Z Lock joints and then gluing the fretwork panels on, any DIYer will look like a professional carpenter in minutes. With over 50 panel patterns, 5 caps and bases, dozens of size combinations, and the ability to paint the columns and panels different colors, there is a Modern Fretwork Column for every project that wants something more without breaking the bank.

ENDURA-CRAFT™ NON-TAPERED COLUMN SPECIFICATIONS

Craftsman columns are available plain, or with three different paneled options: raised panel, “square corner” raised panel, and recessed panel. (Since all tooling used for routing the panels is done with round bits, there will always be some radius in the corners. The “square corner” style uses the smallest bit possible to minimize that radius – about 1/8”.)

ENDURA-CRAFT EASY INSTALLATION

E-Z Lock Assembly: Vertical edges of Craftsman shafts (tapered, non-tapered, pedestal and newel post styles) all incorporate the E-Z Lock miter joint for consistently straight miters.

Please note the correct assembly of the E-Z Lock joint shown at the left. Nails MUST be installed only in the edges shown (3 and 4). Installing on the other edges may result in open seams.

Notes
Always use non-corrosive fasteners — galvanized, stainless steel, etc. for exterior installations, and always follow glue and paint manufacturer’s instructions.

*Column must not be allowed to collect water, debris, etc. If the top of the column extends beyond the soffit/beam, the cap must be flashed with lead, copper, aluminum, etc. to prevent entry of water or foreign materials.

PVC IS WORKABLE

Expanded PVC products are created from a high-density, rigid plastic-like material. It is rolled and pressed out into a form that can then be cut, drilled, machined, nailed, glued, and screwed just like wood, or metal.. It has superior screw and staple retention. The end result is a strong, low maintenance product.
