FAQs
Can this column hold significant structural weight?
This column is primarily decorative. While it can support light architectural loads such as a canopy, please consult with a structural engineer if you intend to use it for load-bearing purposes.
Do I need to sand the column before painting?
The column comes with a factory-applied primer. A light sanding is only recommended if there are minor surface imperfections or if you prefer an ultra-smooth finish.
Is the column hollow inside?
Yes, the shaft is hollow, which allows for reduced weight and easier installation while still providing a rigid appearance.
Can I install this in a damp bathroom?
Yes, the polyurethane material is resistant to moisture, making it suitable for bathroom environments provided the joints are sealed correctly.
What type of paint should I use?
Use high-quality water-based acrylic paint or emulsion for the best finish. Avoid solvent-based paints that may react with the material.
How do I secure the capital to the shaft?
Use the manufacturer-recommended adhesive for polyurethane to ensure a strong, seamless bond between the components.
Troubleshooting
Visible seams between column sections
Apply a small amount of joint filler or specialized adhesive, sand lightly once dry, and touch up with paint.
Unstable base during installation
Ensure the floor surface is level and use a construction-grade adhesive to bond the base firmly to the substrate.
Difficulty achieving a clean cut
Use a fine-toothed saw and consider applying masking tape over the cutting line to prevent splintering of the finish.

- Limited to the specific white factory finish
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires a standard fine-toothed saw for trimming the column shaft. Before cutting, measure your ceiling height carefully and deduct the height of the base and the capital to find the exact shaft length required. Always use recommended Orac Decor adhesives for joining the capital, shaft, and base to ensure a permanent, crack-free bond.
Once installed, wipe down the surface to remove any construction dust. Use a high-quality acrylic paint for the final finish. If installed externally, ensure all joints are caulked with exterior-grade sealant to prevent water ingress. Maintenance is minimal; the polyurethane construction is naturally resistant to decay, meaning a simple wipe with a damp cloth is usually sufficient to maintain its appearance.
