COLUMNS

Q: What sizes do the columns come in?

A: The columns, in Cream and Noce colors, come in three standard sizes and include a capital and base: 40" tall and 6" diameter; 47" tall and 8" diameter; 95" tall and 10" diameter. Any other size can be custom made per your specifications.

Q: What finishes do they come in?

A: The columns can be finished with a natural surface (unfilled), filled-honed, polished or patinato (antiqued). The patinato finish is a bumpier texture which actually makes the stone look older. For a truly rustic look, we always recommend unfilled stone.

Q: What colors?

A: As of today, the columns come in Cream and Noce Travertine.

PAVERS
