HB&G PermaCast® Columns are available round or square. 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.
With HB&G’s PermaCast® Columns, you can choose from the widest array of
sizes and styles of synthetic columns, caps and bases with our PermaWrap®
Cellular PVC Square Columns, PermaPorch® Railing, Balustrade and Ceiling
products on the market.
Code Approvals
HB&G has the latest code approvals. For more information, please see our
ICC-ES LEGACY REPORT 2301.
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.
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.
Ease of Installation
HB&G offers two installation kits that make installing PermaCast® columns
easier than ever. The column installation kit is sold separately and can be
used to install all PermaCast® columns. The split column installation kit
comes with all factory split columns and includes everything needed to install
a split PermaCast® column. All column and installation kits include easy to
follow installation instructions.
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.

installation of the column, HB&G will repair
or replace, at its option, any PermaCast
column that has failed as a result of
defective material or workmanship of HB&G.
In the event of a claim against this warranty,
proof of purchase, with date will be required
to affect such a claim. Installation cost not
included. HB&G gives no other warranty
