Pilasters Gallery

Like all our square columns, they can be smooth, paneled or fluted depending on the facing chosen. The sides are always smooth and one 7 5/8" wide side is cut down into two 3 3/8" sides (or less may be cut down on site). As shown, using different trims, crown and bases allows endless design combinations to suit all tastes.

Although our facings are 8 feet tall, they do allow for 9, 8, or 7 foot pilasters or square columns. On the illustration to the left, the red line represents the 8 foot mark.

Note how the nine foot column, used in homes with taller ceilings, can be extended. The seam is concealed by decorative trim. The flutes always remain proportional.

A smaller seven footer is used to adorn a doorway or entrance. In this case, the capitol has been shortened as well as the flutes.
