FRP Fiberglass Cast Columns

The WorthingtonCast™ Fiberglass Columns are Worthington’s most popular selling architectural columns. Fiberglass porch columns, also called cast columns, will add style and character to any home. Worthington’s round fiberglass columns are available plain or fluted with varying widths and heights from 6” to 36” in diameter. The WorthingtonCast™ fiberglass architectural columns are available in tapered or non-tapered designs to complement modern or traditional styles. The WorthingtonCast fiberglass columns are structural and from 14” diameter and above can hold up to 20,000 lbs each. Our WorthingtonCast™ fiberglass porch columns are virtually maintenance free with the only requirement is to apply quality exterior oil or latex paint. Worthington offers a wide range of decorative capitals for our fiberglass architectural columns. These capitals are available in polyurethane or an FRP capital to achieve the greatest detail in the fiberglass porch columns industry. Both the polyurethane and FRP decorative capitals are load bearing to ensure long lasting and structurally sound fiberglass porch columns.

Square Columns

Worthington offers three types of square fiberglass and PVC architectural columns in our family of porch columns.

The WorthingtonCast™ square fiberglass porch columns are made of FRP fiberglass and are our strongest and heaviest square fiberglass architectural columns.

The WorthingtonLite™ square fiberglass porch columns are made of extruded lightweight fiberglass and are our most durable square fiberglass architectural columns.

The WorthingtonWrap™ square PVC porch columns are made of cellular PVC and are Worthington’s most versatile square architectural columns. The customizations are endless when it comes to designing these architectural columns.

Wood Architectural Columns

In our wood architectural columns collection, Worthington offers two types of architectural columns to complement both the interior and exterior of any home project.

The Classical Wood Column is Worthington’s economical wood column. The bottom 1/3 is non-tapered and the top 2/3 is a straight tapered column. It is available in plain or fluted an is only available in tapered. These columns are not recommended for exterior porch columns.

The Architectural Wood Columns are Worthington’s premier wood architectural columns. These architectural columns follow the designs of classic architecture and truly “architecturally correct.” They are available in round or square with plain or Ionic or Doric fluted designs.

Polymer Stone Cast Columns

The WorthingtonStone™ polymer stone architectural columns are made from highly durable polyester resin. This stone column is very unique to the porch columns industry. The composition of these cast columns look and feel like cast stone but weighs 50%-60% less due to the fact that each of these architectural columns are made in a rotary cast mold which allows this stone column to be made hollow. Unlike our cast columns, Worthington is able to offer these porch columns in six different colors by adding pigments. Custom colors and designs are also available in this maintenance free stone porch columns line. Worthington offers four load bearing decorative capitals for the WorthingtonStone™ architectural columns. Our stone architectural columns are available in plain or fluted designs. The WorthingtonStone™ architectural columns also complements the WorthingtonStone™ balustrade system.

Filament Wound Architectural Columns

The WorthingtonWound™ Filament wound architectural columns are very unique and durable fiberglass porch columns. They are made of filament wound fiberglass strands that are wrapped in two directions. This process gives the WorthingtonWound wound fiberglass architectural columns maximum strength while using minimal amount of materials. The key advantage to these architectural columns is that the weight of the column is very minimal but yet is still has an unbelievable load bearing capability. These lightweight architectural columns save time and money during installation.
All of our WorthingtonWound fiberglass columns follow the 1/3 – 2/3 entasis concept from the early classical architects.
The WorthingtonWound architectural columns are offered in plain or fluted and tapered or non-tapered designs.

Cast Columns
Cast columns are an excellent way to add low maintenance architectural columns to your home. Cast columns are more commonly known as fiberglass columns. The phrase cast columns simply means that the columns are casted from a mold. Round cast columns and square cast columns are both manufactured from a two part mold. The first step in making cast columns is to pour the matrix into the mold and then close the two halves together. The mold in then rotated in a circular motion for 15 minutes before the cast columns are dry. Once the cast columns are dry they are removed from the mold and then sanded and finished and ready to package and ship. Worthington has the technology to manufacture plain cast columns and fluted cast columns. Cast columns are also available with a fiberglass or polyurethane base. Both the fluted cast columns and the plain cast columns are available at custom heights.
