 Attic Bases for Classical Columns

 Custom & Standard Models

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

   youtube video learn about column base materials     

 Attic Bases are used with the classical Orders of columns Doric, Corinthian,

 Ionic-Scamozzi, Composite, and Temple of the Winds (Tower of the Winds)

 Unlike the simpler Tuscan Bases, Attic Bases have two rounded profiles

 (Torus) that are separated by a hollow concave or recessed area (Scotia)

 that sits on a Square Plinth. 

 

 Imperial Productions® offers them Load Bearing made from exterior

 hardwood staves glued together as done for the past 200 years.

 Select from exterior woods White Pine, White Oak, Western Red Cedar. 

 The maximum diameter of the Torus is 36" (91.44cm) with any size of

 Plinth. Order 1 or 2 parts to any custom size and even parts of the column

 shaft that may be rotted.   See wood treatment article to extend wood life

 

 Decorative Attic Bases are hollow and do not hold load. They envelope

 a load bearing plug or the column shaft that supports the column's weight.

 All are made from molds (split or whole) from the following materials

 ArchPolymerTM an lite weight artificial wood

 FRP-PolyCompTM a composite Fiberglass/calcium carbonate marble chips

 GFRC-ZeamentTM  cement and Fiberglass composite

 

 Finish your new Bases with   Specialty Paints or Real Metal Coating 

 

 

 

 Issue: The bases of the columns are rotted and need to be replaced 

 Solution: an Economical Approach for non National Trust Buildings

The traditional base is solid wood and holds the load of the column shaft.

For historic buildings we can create exact reproductions.

For average homes where there is economic constraints you create a load bearing plug to hold the shaft weight and cover it with one of our composite bases. Take 2x4s or 2x6s Pressure Treated Lumber and glue and screw the pieces together on their ends to create a laminated square larger than the column shaft bottom.  Cut the square with a jig saw into a circle the same diameter as the bottom of the shaft so that the shaft will sit on the new load bearing plug. Cover the plug with a composite base as seen below. The hole size of the base should be slightly larger than your load bearing plug accounting for the thickness of the blade if you have to cut the base in half to wrap the plug.   To order click the BuyNow button on the size you need.
