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 the way around the circle. The length of the string is the
circumference of the bottom of the shaft. The formula is the length x 3.14 which
equals the diameter. The hole should be 1/4" larger than the shaft
diameter. Select from
the standard models below or order custom sized. |

All
About Tuscan Bases
|
 |
 |
 |
|
Tuscan
Bases are used with the classical Order of Tuscan created by the Etruscans (6th
Century BC). They have one
rounded profile (Torus) 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.
Decorative
Tuscan Bases are
hollow and do not hold load. They envelop a load bearing plug
or the column shaft that supports the column's weight. All are made from
molds available split or whole. They are made from
ArchPolymerTM
which is rot water and insect resistant for interior & exterior use,
GRG-NeoPlasterTM
for interior use and
GFRC-ZeamentTM
a Portland Cement composite for commercial or high traffic areas. |
|
SPLIT BASES FOR COLUMN WRAPS |
|
All of our bases can
be ordered split for column wrap.
ArchPolymerTM
bases can be split down the middle or on the diagonal. You will loose the thickness of the
blade once cut. Always use the approved adhesive and poly spackling compound to cover the
seam. For
GFRC-ZeamentTM
we recommend
ordering them precut, however if you cut them yourself we suggest a
diamond blade. |
|
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 are economic constraints, you can order a white oak a load bearing
plug to hold the shaft weight and cover it with one of our composite bases split
to encapsulate the load bearing plug. The hole size
of the decorative 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. |
