FAQs
Can I use these columns for load-bearing purposes?
The KD1 is primarily a decorative architectural element. It should be used to wrap existing supports rather than relying on the column itself to bear structural weight.
Is the height adjustable?
The KD1 is supplied at a fixed height of 2.430 meters. You may need to trim the shaft if your ceiling height is lower, but this should be done with caution to ensure the proportions remain intact.
Does the column come pre-painted?
It is typically supplied in a primed state. You will need to apply a final coat of paint or finish to match your specific interior or exterior decor.
Can I install this in a bathroom?
Yes, the materials are suitable for humid environments, making them a great addition to spacious, high-end bathrooms.
Are fitting instructions included?
Yes, each column set includes comprehensive fitting instructions to guide you through the assembly process.
Troubleshooting
Column feels unstable after installation
Verify that the base is perfectly level and that the internal support is securely anchored to the subfloor and ceiling joist.
Visible gaps between joints
Use a high-quality, paintable decorator's caulk or professional-grade joint filler to smooth transitions and achieve a seamless appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation should be approached with careful planning to ensure the column is plumb. Always clear the area of debris before beginning. When concealing existing supports, measure the internal diameter of the KD1 to ensure the structural post fits comfortably inside. For outdoor applications, ensure the base is seated on a level, moisture-resistant surface to prevent water ingress. Maintenance is minimal: a quick wipe-down with a damp cloth is usually sufficient to remove dust. If the column is painted, ensure you use exterior-grade paint for outdoor installations to maintain long-term integrity.
