Synthetic Stone Column Benefits

Synthetic Stone balustrades and columns offer many features and benefits:

• Costs less than polyurethane balusters; no painting required.
• Synthetic stone is 1/3 the weight of real limestone. Our 5.5" Balustrade systems weigh approximately 53 lbs per foot.
• Can be installed on conventional framing, eliminating costly masonry load bearing cost.
• Can match any custom design that a builder requires.
• Textured finish gives a real stone feel and appearance.
• Carpenters can install with traditional woodworking tools. No mason needed. Installers available by request.
• Available in 5 different colors; product is solid color throughout.
• May be painted; will hold paint better than wood.
• Minimal expansion and contraction.
• No joints and seams to separate or caulk in our Newel post.
• Handrail can be used as an electrical conduit.
• Newel post design allows for very solid installation.
• Rail systems are extremely rigid, eliminating movement of handrails.
• Radius or ramp and curved rail systems may be special ordered.
• Columns are load bearing and are similar to fiberglass in weight. Caps and bases are the same material (not plastic)
• Water, insect and impact resistant; will not rot.
• Warranty and complete installation instructions provided.
• To clean, simply add Soft Scrub with Bleach in a pail of water. Scrub material with a stiff brush, then spray off with water. NEVER use a power washer on product. Power washing will cause streaking.
