FlameGuard™
Now with FlameGuard™
Poly-Classic Columns have redefined the standards for versatility, style,
and freedom from maintenance for residential and commercial column
installations. They offer the traditional aesthetics of
architecturally proportioned columns with the non-traditional benefits of
the most advanced construction materials in the world today.
Now with FlameGuard™, Poly-Classic Columns set a new industry
standard---the beauty of flame resistance. They are the first
rotocast fiberglass-reinforced polymer (FRP) columns to pass the ASTM E,
84-01 test which measures the flame spread and smoke development of
building components in a fire.
Poly-Classic FRP Columns are available in tapered fluted columns, tapered smooth columns, non-tapered smooth columns, square non-tapered columns, square fluted and raised panel columns. We can also manufacture any size column to your exact specifications. Whether exterior columns are needed or interior columns, we have what you are looking for.
