Column Installation
Our columns can be used in a variety of different applications therefore several types of
installation options are available.
Structural Install
As load bearing units, several of the columns we offer can be installed directly
as the main structural element. They are available in several shapes and sizes and
engineered for most load bearing applications. As every project or design is unique,
please contact us for your specific application.
Decorative Install
Our columns can also be used just for their aesthetic beauty in non-load bearing
applications. Exterior or interior, they can be cut and modified to most any shape
and installed as decorative elements to compliment any design.
Split Column Install
In most remodel or after the fact projects, columns can be split in two and reassembled
around unsightly structural members like wooden or steel posts. This type of install
is most commonly used when removal or modification of structural members is not
desired or possible.
Shutter Installation
With a multitude of shutter styles and types comes a wide range of installation
options. These range from purely decorative to full storm-rated protection.
Fixed Install
With little to no maintenance, shutters can be secured in a fixed position to add
a custom look to any design.
Fixed Install w/ Hardware
Shutters can be installed in a fixed position along with a variety of hardware options
to give a more accurate appearance of operable shutters. This option still requires
little to no maintenance while increasing curb appeal.
Semi-Functional Install
Some shutter types can be installed in a semi-functional application. Installed
using real shutter hardware, the shutters can be opened and closed but are not intended
to be operated frequently or serve any type of protective function. This option
also offers a high level of architectural accuracy without the cost associated with
fully functional shutters.
Fully-Functional Install
In this type of installation only high-quality shutter materials and hardware are
used. Along with architecturally accurate design, these shutters are intended to
be operated and offer light protection from the elements.
Storm-Rated Install
Only storm-rated shutters and hardware can be used for this type of install. While
still architecturally accurate in design, these shutters offer our highest level
of functionality and protection and are backed by a manufacturers Storm-Rating.
This type of install is completely custom designed for each application.
