Worthington Column Wrap

Columns have structural and decorative benefits.  If you already have a reliable foundation for your home, an alternative to a massive column is the column wrap. A column wrap is sometimes called a column cover. It covers a structure to make it appear like a solid column. A column wrap can be made of different materials like metal, fiberglass, wood and PVC. As the name implies, a column wrap covers another surface.   This means that while a column wrap may seem like just a decoration, it also has some protective benefits.  A column wrap can hide unsightly wires and pipes from view while protecting them from the elements like water, dirt and heat.

A column wrap can be split in different ways depending where it will be positioned. If the column wrap is placed in a corner, it can be cut in fourths. A column wrap can also be split in half if it is placed in a flat surface. Like the solid column, installation instructions for the column wrap are often provided by the manufacturer.  It is still recommended to hire an experienced installer for column wrap.   It takes longer to reinforce a column wrap. One would need strong adhesive and brackets to perfectly attach the column wrap.  Column wrap installation can be difficult when it is done by a single person.  In this type of installation, it pays to hire a skilled worker.

In most cases, a column wrap is purely for decorative purposes but little did homeowners know that such an enhancement can improve the home’s value. There are many choices of design for a column wrap so it is easy to match the design with the existing home décor.  A column wrap is a simple addition to a home but the enhancement it adds is already worth the hard work.
