All
Aristone columns are available in the following configurations:
One
Piece Columns:
- Structural Concrete
These are one-piece solid concrete columns, typically used in
load bearing situations. To provide structural integrity the columns
are cast with a rebar cage in the center. The cage consists of
#5 rebar in 21” base columns and #4 rebar in 16 & 18”
base columns, both have #3 stirrups on 8” centers. The rebar
extends out 12” from the bottom of the base of the column.
There is a ¾” x 6” coil loop insert cast into
the top of the column, it is used to attach the structural member
to the top of the column, it can also be used to lift the column
provided the correct bolt and lifting fitting is used. All structural
information is available by request or on our website at www.aristonedesigns.com

- Plaster
One-piece plaster columns are for interior use only and have no
load bearing capability. The typical wall thickness is +/- 1”.
It is important that plaster columns be installed a minimum of
4” off the floor to avoid damage from brooms, kids, vacuum’s
etc.

GFRC
Glass Fiber Reinforced (GFRC) columns are cast horizontally in
2 pieces and can be joined at the factory when a one-piece column
is desired.
Split Columns (SP):
Split columns are used primarily when you have to “wrap”
around a structural support post. Concrete split columns can be
assembled and grouted solid to provide a structural member (please
check your local building codes). The center void for the concrete
split columns is from 5” to 10” depending on the columns
size. The center void for the GFRC and Plaster columns is +-2”
less than the outside shaft diameter.
SPLIT
COLUMNS ARE AVAILABLE IN CONCRETE, PLASTER , FRP (FIBERGLASS REINFORCED
POLYMER) AND GFRC (GLASS FIBER REINFORCED CONCRETE)
PLEASE
REMEMBER 1 “SPLIT” COLUMN IS 2 PIECES
Three
Piece Fluted Columns:
Our three piece fluted columns (Corinthian, Ionic & Tuscan)
come with a 21 ½” square base with a 11 ½”
diameter void in center, a solid structural shaft (see solid column
section for structural information) and a 19” square capital
with a 8 ½” void in the center. The rebar cage extends
approximately 12” out of the top and bottom of the solid
shaft.
