		Round Fiberglass Columns Fiberglass columns from Augusta Sash & Door are a satisfying combination of modern-day technology and low maintenance care. Each column shaft is produced with the lower one third straight and the upper two thirds tapered, creating a correct architectural entasis. Entasis, attributed to ancient Greek architecture, is the slight convex curving of the column shaft resulting in a most pleasing appearance.Fiberglass columns are available in plain and fluted shafts. Our fluted round columns are cast fluted, resulting in a crisp, deep and architecturally correct Ionic flute. Round fluted columns are available in a wide range of sizes from 6" through 18" in diameter. The columns are a composition of cast glass-reinforced polymers which offer exceptional strength and durability. Priming and painting with an oil-based or latex coating is all that is necessary after installation.

		Square Fiberglass Columns Square fiberglass columns offer an alternative to the more traditional round columns. Augusta Sash & Door's plain square fiberglass columns in 8", 10" and 12" diameters up to 1' length are made from specially formulated glass-reinforced polymers with a one-piece shaft and applied astragal with an attractive capital and base molding. ASD's square fiberglass column is both lightweight and strong, resulting in a column that is easy to handle, water-resistant and impervious to moisture-related problems.

		Wood Columns The Colonial column is double bead available both plain and fluted and is manufactured with a double bead molding. The Colonial column has a gradual straight taper. The Authentic wood column is also available plain or fluted and has a double taper approximately one foot below the top of the shaft. The exaggerated taper gives the authentic column a distinctive appearance at the neck molding of the shaft.Typical options for wood columns include: cutting at the bead, cutting to overall length, altering flute length, prime one coat, prime/sand/prime, application of asphaltum, splitting, and splining for reassembly.Non-tapered stock wood columns are available in plain or fluted styles. They can be produced with or without a Colonial bead. Square or boxed wood columns are also available in plain or fluted styles. Square wood columns are shipped unassembled (kd) for finished assembly at the job site. Sizes available are 6”, 8”, 10” and 12”.
