Cemintel columns are made from a wood fibre composite, making them easy to cut and because they are delivered pre-primed they are ready to paint, render or tile as soon as they arrive.

Because they are made from fibre composite material Cemintel columns are lighter than other commonly used columns on the market. However, despite their light weight Cemintel columns are hard-wearing and durable making them suitable for inside and out.

Columns can be used to great effect in entrance halls and corridors and they are particular popular around swimming pools and patios. When coupled with architectural capitals, columns can create a modern or classical style.

They can also be purely decorative and can be used around a load bearing support. Subject to loading specifications Cemintel columns can be used to support lightweight roof structures without additional reinforcement or filled with reinforced concrete to support increased loads.

Cemintel columns are available in standard sizes 195mm and 250mm.
