Royal Corinthian manufacturers two types of fiberglass columns with the most popular one discussed in a previous section. Our RoyaLite™ Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer or GFRP or FRP column covers are true fiberglass columns as they are comprised of 35% to 40% fiberglass. The rest of the column is made up of polymer resin and gel coat. These columns are usually used as column covers or column wraps. We manufacture them in 2 halves that get assembled around structural supports on site using our integral lap joint installation method. These offer the greatest advantage over our other columns when paint-grade column covers 14" and bigger are desired. For small column covers, our RoyalCast™ columns are more affordable; this isn't to say that we don't offer our RoyaLite™ column wraps in small diameters and widths.

Our RoyalCast™ fiberglass columns are available in every style and size that we offer. Shaft styles are as follows: Round Tapered Plain, Round Tapered Fluted, Round NON-Tapered Plain, Greek Doric, Round Twist Rope, Square NON-Tapered Plain, Square Non-Tapered Fluted, Square NON-Tapered Recessed Panel, and Square Tapered Plain. Depending on the shaft style, we offer fiberglass columns from 4" in diameter/width and as short as you want them and up to 48" in diameter x 45' tall. Our most diverse offering is our round tapered plain as tapered fiberglass columns are considered architecturally correct. Our round non-tapered plain fiberglass columns are some of the tallest in the industry and we offer sizes from 6" in diameter to 36" in diameter. We offer square columns from 6" to 25" x 26'. We also offer several sizes of twist rope columns (not offered by any other manufacturer) and square tapered columns.

Royal Corinthian manufactures round columns in several styles and materials. We have tapered plain, tapered fluted, non-tapered plain, non-tapered rope, barrel, Greek Doric, and some “custom" standard styles. We make these round columns from RoyalCast™ cast Fiberglass, RoyalStone™ Synthetic Stone, and RoyaLite™ lightweight Fiberglass. We also offer the same columns in RoyalCrete™ GFRC for those wanting a cast stone segmented look to their columns. We make everything from knee-wall and “stock" sized to 2 and 3 story columns. Currently, our diameters range from 5" to 42" and some columns span up to 30' without interruption. We can go even higher if we piece the shaft together from several sections or we can always make a custom size, which we specialize in. If you want to browse by style, click on the column image below that catches your eye. If you would rather get to know the various materials that we offer, feel free to call us for a quick run through or visit our columns section to see a comparison chart.

In addition, we offer an assortment of alternative caps and bases as well as decorative capitals.
Royal Corinthian manufactures square columns from many materials and in many styles. We offer plain non-tapered, fluted non-tapered, recessed panel non-tapered, and plain tapered square columns made from RoyalCast™ cast Fiberglass, RoyalStone™ Synthetic Stone, and RoyaLite™ lightweight Fiberglass. In addition, we offer plain, fluted, recessed panel, and raised panel, in both tapered and non-tapered styles, from our RoyalWrap™ PVC material. For those wanting a segmented stone look, we offer all of our square columns from RoyalCrete™ GFRC. As always, we specialize in custom styles so feel free to send us a drawing or contact us to discuss.

Royal Corinthian manufactures synthetic stone or polymer stone porch columns from a combination of filler, resin, and color pigment, resulting in products that look and feel like stone but are lighter, stronger, and less expensive than natural stone. These offer the greatest advantage over our other columns when pre-finished, stone-like, low-maintenance, robust, and load-bearing columns are desired.

Royal Corinthian manufactures PVC column wraps using cellular PVC sheets and boards. The wraps are a wood alternative that is milled just like wood but without any of the negative attributes. These columns come factory mitered as two corners to facilitate a quick installation around wood supports or lally columns. They offer the greatest advantage over our other columns when square column wraps are desired that can span up to 20' in height and are fairly inexpensive.

Royal Corinthian manufactures an assortment of column capitals and bases. We offer Tuscan caps and bases for all of our columns without exception. We are one of the only manufacturers that offer Tuscan capitals with a round abacus and Tuscan and Attic bases with round plinths. We have Roman Doric caps and bases for the majority of our columns. Doric is slightly more ornate than Tuscan. We focus on 4 decorative capitals: Roman Corinthian, Roman Ionic, Scamozzi, and Temple of the Winds but we offer others as well.
The majority of our columns come with an attached astragal or neck ring which makes for much easier installation on site. In addition to an astragal, our larger diameter columns come with an attached support ring which allows for a Tuscan capital to rest on it. It is much easier to install a column when you don't have to worry about holding up a heavy capital, which of course we can make lighter if needed. If you don't want the neck rings, we can remove them during the manufacturing process.
The majority of our square columns do not come with an integrated astragal but we do offer loose neck rings that can be applied on the field. Some of our square columns are available with an attached astragal so it that is important to you, please ask. All of our PVC column wraps are available with a loose astragal which may or may not be made from the same material, depending on complexity. Please consult our catalog for specifics on columns with or without astragals or call or email us for a quick rundown. All of our column capitals and bases are available for sale individually.
Royal Corinthian offers over 350 decorative capitals for both round and square columns: Roman Corinthian, Temple of the Winds, Scamozzi, Roman Ionic, Greek Angular Ionic, Greek Erechtheum, Greek Erechtheum with necking, Modern Composite, Empire, Empire with necking, and Roman Doric. In addition, we have the ability to manufacture custom capitals: Our in-house mold making department allows for us to be priced competitively even on custom products. All of our capitals are available from the same material as the shaft, whether you choose our RoyalCast composite fiberglass, RoyalStone synthetic stone, or RoyaLite “FRP" lightweight fiberglass. All of our capitals are available in all 3 composite materials. Decorative capitals add height to the column shaft unlike Tuscan and Doric caps which simply slide over the shaft (except for twist rope columns). For proper installation of decorative capitals, the column shaft needs to be cut at the neck or astragal. Typically a cut at neck is done by the factory but can also be done in the field. Since our decorative capitals sit on top of the astragal, they are load bearing; whereas, Tuscan and Doric, which slide over the uncut shaft, are purely decorative. In load bearing applications, the weight of the soffit/ceiling would bear down on the capital which in turn would bear down on the shaft that is sitting on top of the substrate/floor.
Royal Corinthian has been manufacturing architectural columns, exterior cornice, fiberglass pergolas, and balustrade systems in America for over 30 years. We emulate ancient architecture and ensure longevity by making our architectural products only from composite materials that will last for generations.
We specialize in fiberglass, FRP, synthetic stone, cellular PVC, GFRC, and high density polyurethane products. Not only are we the only manufacturer that offers all of these materials but our products can be mixed and matched on the same project since we use the same molds for all materials.
