Columns

Cast Stone or architectural precast Columns are an architectural element which have been used for decades. In fact the use of columns originated in ancient Greek and Roman structures. Typically we see columns used in today’s architecture as an integral part of entrances, landscaping features, and other aesthetic and/or structural features. Columns can be designed as single castings or multiple segments, in many different diameters or square profiles. Columns can be cast in any practical length, as straight or tapered and with many cross-sectional options such as smooth or fluted. Columns are used by designers to provide architectural ornamentation while allowing their physical stature and mass as a functional and decorative component. American Artstone Company has many colors and textures available, offering a dramatic contrast to the other building components and products. We custom cast our products per the specific construction documents allowing the designer to chose practically any profile. It is important to consider that minimizing the number of profiles allows for less mold/form building, offering a more economical unit cost for our products.
