MarbleTex™ Synthetic Stone Columns
Melton Classics presents the innovative MarbleTex™ line of maintenance-free synthetic stone columns. These classically styled composite columns are created in durable integral color through marble/polymer composition in a Classic White integral color through finish that requires no painting or sealants.
Our exclusive centrifugal casting process allows MarbleTex™ column shafts to be manufactured in one load bearing seamless unit which simplifies installation. Column shafts can also be manufactured in halves for reassembly around structural supports, when desired. MarbleTex™ capitals, bases and plinths are manufactured from the same durable maintenance free stone composition as the shaft. Ornamental capitals and attic styled bases are available for selected sizes.
MarbleTex™ Synthetic Stone Column Features:
- Prefinished integral coloration
- Offered in plain shaft Tuscan or ornamental designs with marble textured finish
- Available in diameters from 6″ to 28″ and in heights from 4′ to 25′
These maintenance free architectural columns are ideal companions for our MarbleTex™ synthetic stone balustrades providing the opportunity for complete coordination of design elements. MarbleTex™ composite columns and balustrades are the ideal choice for any interior application, or the most demanding exterior application.
