A wide selection of plain or fluted, round and square columns, as well as Tuscan Cap and Base options are available to inspire creativity and style. Columns are crafted with advanced, low-maintenance technologies and materials to offer more superior strength and load-bearing characteristics than concrete.
Construction and Materials
Arndt & Herman offers a range of decorative and structural columns designed to enhance the aesthetic appeal and support of architectural projects. These columns are meticulously crafted to provide both durability and timeless style.
The primary materials used in the construction of Arndt & Herman columns are:
- Hardwood: Selected hardwoods are the foundation for many of their column offerings. These woods are chosen for their strength, natural beauty, and ability to be intricately carved or molded. The specific type of hardwood may vary depending on the collection and design, but the emphasis is on quality and longevity.
- Composite Materials: For certain applications and designs, Arndt & Herman incorporates advanced composite materials. These are engineered for superior performance, offering resistance to rot, insects, and weathering, while often providing a lighter weight and easier installation compared to solid wood.
The construction techniques employed by Arndt & Herman focus on achieving both structural integrity and detailed craftsmanship. Whether solid-turned or hollow-core, each column is built to meet rigorous standards.
Specific construction features may include:
- Tapered Designs: Many columns feature a subtle taper, a classic architectural element that provides visual balance and elegance.
- Fluting and Reeding: Intricate decorative elements like fluting (vertical concave grooves) and reeding (vertical convex grooves) are often incorporated, showcasing traditional craftsmanship.
- Base and Capital Integration: Columns are designed to integrate seamlessly with complementary bases and capitals, completing the overall aesthetic and providing proper support. These decorative elements are often available as separate components for customization.
- Solid and Hollow Construction: Depending on the intended use and size, columns can be constructed as solid pieces or as hollow units. Hollow columns are often preferred for porch posts or when routing utilities is a consideration, offering a balance of strength and practicality.
Arndt & Herman's product line encompasses a variety of styles to suit diverse architectural preferences, from classical and traditional to more contemporary looks. The attention to detail in both material selection and construction ensures that their columns are not only functional but also significant decorative features.
