COLUMN MATERIALS
Royal Corinthian manufactures 4 types of composite columns that last for generations. We emulate the products of the Greeks and the Romans but using modern composite technologies to ensure longevity; therefore, we don’t manufacture materials that rot, crack, split, rust, or crumble. We offer RoyalCast™ composite fiberglass columns, RoyalStone™ polymer stone columns, RoyaLite™ FRP spray-up and pultruded fiberglass columns and column covers, and RoyalWrap™ cellular PVC column wraps. Every material offers certain application advantages so take a look at the comparison chart below or give us a call for a quick run through. If you know which material you are looking for, click on the appropriate link. In addition to these 4 materials, we also offer RoyalCrete™ GFRC for those wanting a segmented stone-like product at a fraction of the weight and cost. Please contact us for more information on our GFRC columns.
