The Shape is the Design Solution

The elegant simplicity of the Tuscan Order is seldom "out of place" in any architectural environment. The Tuscan Column can "dress up" an otherwise ordinary elevation while being "in order" within the most meticulously designed environment.

Our only standards

We have proportionally correct Palladian Tuscan Order Columns in one foot increments from 6 to 12 feet in height. We supply equally "correct" pedestals to make up any required height between the one foot increments. This economic compromise allows us to offer these elegant columns at an amazingly affordable price.

Call (800) 356-2462 or Email for a quotation. Please specify a finish type.

Columns are available in any finish. There are two options for the joint details.

Of course, we can make original patterns on any specific size if custom work is required.

  • Design kit and site survey for ease-of-order instructions
  • Fabricated for attachment either to steel or wood structural internal columns
  • Minor height adjustment at site with common hand and power tools
  • Detailed installation instructions with illustrations
  • Available in all standard finish types
  • Five to ten times lighter than similar products made with conventional cast stone
  • Flexural, tensile and impact strength about 20 times greater than conventional cast stone
  • STONEWEAR composite stone column covers cut, fit, and place like cabinet work - trim, grind, cut, sand, screw, nail and glue like wood

For your edification, Palladio (in his own words) on the Columns of the Classical Orders
