Decorative Column Capitals

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.
