PRESENTING OUR ENDURA-CRAFT SQUARE NON-TAPERED CRAFTSMAN COLUMNS

Our selection of Endura-Series™ Square Columns includes this non-tapered model. Simply attractive, crisp and versatile, the square non-tapered column is currently used in countless applications. This early 1900’s Arts and Crafts inspired column retains the simple and straightforward appearance of classic American millwork.

A high quality expanded cellular PVC construction makes the Endura-Series™ Square non-Tapered Column an excellent choice. This advanced material is easy to work with, and it retains traditional appeal to truly enhance your home. Some styles are also crafted in our enhanced Endura-Stone™, one of today’s most advanced structural materials.

Endura-Series™ Square Non-Tapered Columns are hollow and ideal for concealing less than complimentary supports. They are also great for concealing unsightly plumbing and downspouts.

This versatile column is available in smooth, paneled, fluted and combination formats to meet your decorative needs.

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™ STYLE IDEAS

Mix and match capitals, bases, and shafts to create your own unique craftsman column style. Each column kit can easily be installed around an existing post for a simple installation.

ENDURA-CRAFT PLAN TYPES

Endura-Craft Columns are as unique as the different types of installations that are available. We offer our Endura-Craft Columns in a wide variety of “Plan Types”. These “Plan Types” are the style and type of shaft, capital, and base you will receive. If you are using them as half columns against a wall, you would want to select an “F” plan type. This would give you a column that could be installed against a wall. These are the most common plan types, however, we can do custom plan types if your project requires it.

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.

ABOUT ENDURA-CRAFT COLUMN MATERIALS

Made of cellular PVC that resists the tests of time and weather, Endura-Craft Columns are the best high-performance product on the market. Choose from our inspired collection of Endura-Craft Columns to add elegant details in a variety of applications.

PVC IS BEAUTIFUL

While Endura-Craft Columns readily accept paints and stains, it comes in a crisp, semi-matte white finish. Its profile is white throughout, and it’s protected with UV inhibitors, making it resistant to fading or yellowing over time. And, with sealed edges, they are easier to clean even if it does get dirty.

PVC IS WORKABLE

Craft a work of art with materials that are easily milled, shaped, and molded using standard woodworking tools. Endura-Craft Columns can be routed and cut without chip outs, fastened close to edges without splits, and can easily be trimmed using standard woodworking tools. They’re also easy to install—saving you time and labor costs.

PVC IS DURABLE

With Endura-Craft Columns, you can feel confident your products will provide years of beauty. Cellular PVC offers superior dent and scratch resistance and is moisture and insect resistant as well. PVC’s rigid make-up offers great protection and is suitable for ground and masonry contact. By following the recommended paint guides for PVC, it is ideal for interior and exterior applications.

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.
