Load-Bearing Fiberglass ColumnsEDON, a leader in fiberglass architectural innovation, now supplies load bearing fiberglass columns to its already extensive list of Architectural Products. EDONiTE load bearing fiberglass columns combine two different technologies to provide a wide range of sizes and affordability. The smaller diameter fiberglass columns are fabricated from a Class 1 fire rated poly/marble composition. Larger diameter fiberglass columns use FiberWound technology to create a Class 1 rated durable and lightweight load bearing column, with the impact resistance and very high load bearing capabilities that are achieved without excessive weight.EDONiTE load bearing fiberglass columns are available with a variety of capital and base styles. Column styles can vary from straight to entasis, square in plan and fluted.

The chart lists recommended dead load values. These loads apply to full fiberglass columns installed according to EDONiTE installation instructions. All split fiberglass columns and pilasters are non-load bearing. Load is to be applied concentrically through axis of column. Loads are valid only if applied uniformly between full area of column shaft ends. Load values are provided as a convenience and are not exact. Consult a structural engineer for accurate load estimates. |
