When selecting columns for your home or commercial property, finding the right balance between durability and design is key. That’s why fiberglass columns have become a top choice for architects, contractors, and homeowners looking to combine timeless elegance with modern performance.
Fiberglass is an exceptionally strong, lightweight material that resists rot, warping, and insect damage—making it ideal for both interior and exterior use. Unlike wood or stone, it requires little maintenance and holds up beautifully in all weather conditions, from coastal humidity to freezing winters.
Melton Classics offers a wide range of fiberglass columns designed to suit virtually any architectural style. Whether you’re looking for smooth, fluted, round, or square profiles, these columns can be customized with a variety of classical capitals and bases—including Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian designs.
Beyond their visual appeal, fiberglass columns offer practical benefits for installation and longevity. Their lightweight nature makes them easier and faster to install compared to traditional materials, while still providing the structural strength needed to support porches, entryways, and covered walkways.
For non-load-bearing applications, fiberglass column wraps can be used to encase existing posts, instantly upgrading plain supports into refined architectural statements. These wraps are precision-molded and factory-primed, ready for painting or finishing to match your desired look.
Another reason fiberglass columns are so popular is their long-term value. They don’t just look great upon installation—they maintain their appearance for decades, requiring minimal upkeep. This makes them a cost-effective choice for property owners who want a high-end aesthetic without ongoing maintenance hassles.
Whether you're renovating a traditional estate or building a modern dream home, fiberglass columns offer the durability, beauty, and design flexibility needed to bring your architectural vision to life.
