How
to Know What Size Base is Needed
|
|
Measure the
circumference of the bottom of the shaft before it engages the base. To
size the base, the best way is to tape a piece of string to one side of
the shaft, go all around the circle. The length of the string is the
circumference of the bottom of the shaft. The length x 3.14 will
equal the diameter required for the hole in the base. Select from
the standard models or order custom sized. |

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.

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. |
