HB&G PermaCast ® Columns are great for many applications. They can be used as front porch support columns or decorative columns, and are available in both round columns and square columns. Round columns can be fluted or plain, with or without the classic tapering of the upper two-thirds of the column. Square columns are available in a variety of styles, including plain, fluted, applied or recessed panel, and craftsman. PermaCast capitals and bases are made from durable, low-maintenance materials, and, like the columns, maintain architectural authenticity and historical accuracy. PermaCast columns are weather-proof, insect proof, and come with a lifetime warranty.
Column Wall Thickness
Columns are the distinguishing mark on a home's exterior. With HB&G's PermaCast ® Columns, you will have a more consistent appearance from column to column due to the latest technology that's used in our production facility in Troy, Alabama. The wall of each column maintains the same thickness assuring there are no weak spots, and more fiberglass makes HB&G columns stronger than the competition, allowing them to be used as front porch support columns, decorative columns and many other applications.

Consistancy and Appearance
“Not all Square Fiberglass Columns are Equal”---HB&G is one of the few
manufactures of a true “spun” fiberglass square column, which is made
the same way as HB&G’s Round PermaCast® Columns. Most of the other
square fiberglass columns are pultruded fiberglass columns which don’t offer
the same wall thickness or architecturally square corners that HB&G can
produce. Make sure that you’re getting a true spun square fiberglass column
vs. a pultrusion.

assuring there are no weak spots, and more fiberglass makes HB&G columns

Ease of Installation
Our flashing cap and installation kit is only available from HB&G! Flashing caps and installation kits are included with Tuscan Cap and Base sets at no additional charge. The Flashing Cap not only prevents debris from entering the column, it secures the top of the column while the installation brackets secure the bottom of the column. Split column installation kits are available and include everything needed to install a split PermaCast column. The column installation kit is sold separately and can be used to install all PermaCast columns.
Paintability
HB&G does not use additives or coatings that interfere with paint adhesion,
there are no sanding scars or need to sand PermaCast® Columns. HB&G caps
and bases are primed and ready to paint. All that is needed with HB&G’s
PermaCast® Columns, caps and bases is to remorve any excess dust or dirt
from the surface prior to painting.
