Why Architects Choose Royal Corinthian

  • Exceptional Durability: High-performance composite materials that resist weathering, impact, and structural degradation.
  • Minimal Maintenance: Pre-finished surfaces that resist peeling, cracking, and rot without requiring continuous upkeep.
  • Moisture & Pest Resistance: Impervious to water penetration, mold, mildew, and wood-boring insects.
  • Architectural Accuracy: Historically precise details and replication processes custom-engineered for spec compliance.

How Royal Corinthian Products May Contribute Toward LEED®

Our architectural composite columns, balustrades, and cornices are manufactured with precision-engineered raw materials that support green building practices. By utilizing fully documented, high-durability composites, Royal Corinthian products can play a direct role in earning key project credits under the LEED® rating system. Key contributions include Material and Resources (MR) credits through life-cycle impact reduction, material ingredient optimization, and regional material sourcing practices.

Technical LEED® & Environmental Performance

How Royal Corinthian architectural products contribute to sustainable building certifications and material health.

Why Architects Choose Royal Corinthian

  • HPD (Health Product Declaration) reporting
  • EPD verified polymer composite formulas
  • Locally sourced & manufactured in the USA
  • Zero-VOC fully cured installation materials
  • Pre-engineered to eliminate site waste
  • 100% recyclable shipping and packaging

Building Product Disclosure & Optimization

By compiling detailed life-cycle impact data, Royal Corinthian enables projects to claim points under LEED v4/v4.1 Materials and Resources (MR) credits. Our composite formulation processes utilize closed-mold technology that lowers emissions and reduces ecological footprints.

Material Ingredient Reporting (MR Credit 2)

Our Health Product Declarations (HPDs) offer complete transparency down to 1,000 ppm. We disclose chemical composition profiles to support building developers in managing material hazard potential, ensuring that our products contain no Red List materials.

Responsible Sourcing of Materials

Over 60% of our primary raw material weight, including natural fillers and reinforcing fibers, is extracted within a 500-mile radius of our main manufacturing plant in Marion, Ohio. This close-proximity logistical network maximizes regional materials incentives.

Construction Waste Management (MR Credit 5)

Traditional columns require extensive on-site trimming, generating dusty waste and solid debris. Royal Corinthian offers factory pre-cutting and custom sizing to significantly eliminate field fabrication scrap. All shipping crates are constructed using easily recyclable raw timber and cardboard.

Durability Supports Sustainable Design

Our architectural systems—crafted from high-performance fiberglass, glass-fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC), and cellular PVC—are engineered to deliver structural stability and enduring aesthetic quality. Unlike traditional wood architectural details, these advanced materials withstand weathering, decay, and mechanical stress without degrading.
By selecting rot-proof materials that completely bypass the cycle of toxic chemical treatments, frequent painting, and early replacement, modern designers secure measurable points under the LEED® Material and Resources (MR) and Environmental Quality (EQ) credit frameworks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers regarding how Royal Corinthian columns, balustrades, and architectural products contribute to your LEED® project goals.

Are Royal Corinthian products LEED certified?
Individual manufactured architectural products are not independently certified by the USGBC. Instead, they contribute points toward the overall LEED certification of the building project. Our products help earn credits under specific Materials and Resources (MR) categories.
Yes. We can generate project-specific submittal packages detailing recycled content percentages (pre-consumer and post-consumer), manufacturing location coordinates, and raw material sourcing distances to assist your LEED coordinator with regional material calculations.
Our columns are designed for extreme structural durability, ensuring they match or exceed the design life of the host structure. This directly assists with Life Cycle Impact Reduction credits. Selected product runs can also integrate pre-consumer recycled polyester resins and natural mineral dust fillers.
All Royal Corinthian structural columns, balustrades, cornices, and architectural components are engineered and manufactured in our state-of-the-art facilities in the United States, supporting domestic production and regional supply chain requirements.
