At Patterson Whittaker Architectural Profiles, we specialize in a broad spectrum of architectural products, with a significant demand for exterior column covers. These architectural elements are highly sought after for their aesthetic appeal and transformative impact on properties. But getting the right column cover can have its challenges.
Column covers have long been a staple in architectural design, offering both structural and decorative benefits. Their application ranges from enhancing facade aesthetics to concealing structural elements in a visually appealing manner. However, the traditional materials used for these covers, such as stone, precast concrete, and GFRC (Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete), present challenges related to cost and logistics, primarily due to their considerable weight.
Innovative Lightweight Solutions
To address these challenges, Patterson Whittaker Architectural Profiles has pioneered the use of advanced materials in the production of exterior column covers. Our innovative approach involves the utilization of an EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) core, which is then coated with a specialized cement mixture. This combination results in a product that is not only lightweight but also retains the durability required for exterior architectural applications.
Some of the benefits of this type of lightweight product include:
- Reduced Shipping Costs – The lightweight nature of these columns significantly lowers shipping costs, making international distribution more feasible and cost-effective.
- Durability – Despite their reduced weight, these columns are engineered to withstand environmental elements and resist damage such as chips and dents, ensuring longevity.
- Customization – Our manufacturing capabilities allow for a high degree of customization in terms of scale, design, and finish, meeting the specific requirements of diverse architectural projects.
- Environmental Impact – The use of lightweight materials contributes to a lower carbon footprint associated with transportation and installation processes.
Our operations, primarily based in Canada and the United States, have a global outreach. Patterson Whittaker Architectural Profiles has successfully undertaken projects across various continents, including collaborations with clients in Japan, Europe, and other regions. This international experience underscores our capacity to manage logistics and deliver our innovative column covers worldwide, adhering to the highest standards of quality and design.
For architects and designers seeking to integrate elegant, cost-effective, and durable column covers into their projects, our team at Patterson Whittaker Architectural Profiles offers tailored solutions that blend aesthetic appeal with functional excellence.
