You may have just read the title to this blog and thought to yourself “what?! Columns made from polystyrene? What on earth are they talking about”. Yes, we are talking about the same polystyrene that you find in the box when you unpack your new fridge. That’s right we use the same material your kids easily break into a million tiny pieces and scatter around the house to create columns, and various other architectural mouldings for that matter but our secret is hard coating it.
Some people believe that columns are old-fashioned and dated. It’s true that they have been used in architecture for a long time, dating back to the Bronze Age, to as early as 3000BCE! However, over the years the style and appearance of columns have evolved. These days, columns look a lot more modern, and sleeker compared to what you would have seen if you were waddling around the earth 5000 years ago.
Ways Columns Can Enhance Your Home’s Aesthetic
Structural and decorative architectural elements can really change the way your home looks. Have you ever looked at your home and thought with yourself: “There’s something missing”? Well, we might just know what that something is that you need to make your home look complete. Columns!
Although they are often used for structural purposes, they can also break up spaces and increase your house’s visual appeal, not to mention your property value. Columns are still an often-used architectural feature and are a great replacement option for uninviting front posts. The front of your house is the first thing visitors notice, so why not invest in making it look spectacular!
Our columns have the ability to add an element of style to your home. The great thing about making columns from polystyrene is that the design possibilities are almost endless. This means the team at High Profile Architectural Mouldings can create a look to match any space, whether your house is old, modern, or even futuristic-like. They can compliment the traditional heritage of a house without making it look old-fashioned. They can also be a fantastic way to accentuate the entry to your home in a subtle yet tasteful way. If you’re not sure of what style or design of column would suit your home that’s okay! The team here at High Profile Architectural Mouldings are here to help! With years of experience under our belt, we dare say we know a thing or two when it comes to creating the perfect moulding to compliment any home.
Why Polystyrene?
Our team of skilled professionals specialise in creating architectural mouldings made from polystyrene. Our columns are sculptured using computer-aided technology which allows us to easily create custom designs as well as replicate existing designs almost identically. Then the columns are coated with polyurethane elastomer, giving them a solid exterior to seal them from the elements and stop damage whilst still allowing them to be lightweight. This material is also perfect for exterior builds because of its high quality, durability, and strength.
