Ordering a column shaft, base and capital as three separate decisions creates three separate chances for something not to line up — a base that’s a shade too wide, a capital in the wrong decorative line, a shaft diameter that doesn’t quite match either. Uni-Shape Column Sets remove that risk by supplying all three components together as one matched, bespoke package, engineered as a single coordinated column rather than three parts a builder has to reconcile on site.

What’s in a Column Set

Each set pairs a column shaft in one of three styles — Fluted, Straight or Tapered — with a matching base and capital, and the full range is available in both round and square profiles. Base and capital pairings are pre-matched to suit the shaft style selected, covering four decorative lines (styles 1 to 4), with a fifth base style specifically paired to Capital 1 for a project wanting that particular base’s look without a dedicated matching capital. Every set is supplied at a 350mm column diameter, giving Column Sets a genuinely premium, statement-piece scale compared with the smaller stock diameters available when ordering shafts, bases and capitals separately.

Round or Square, Every Style Covered

Whichever design direction a facade is taking, there’s a matching set: round Fluted, Straight and Tapered shafts for a traditional or classical look, and the same three shaft styles again in a square profile for a cleaner, more contemporary column line. Because the base and capital are matched to the shaft within the same set, a designer or builder can specify a complete column by style and diameter alone, without separately cross-checking that the individual components will read as one cohesive design once installed.

Built as a System, Not Assembled on Site

Like the rest of the Uni-Shape range, Column Sets are lightweight and mechanically fixed rather than relied on to hold with adhesive alone — a fixing approach Unitex takes deliberately, since a glued-only bond can weaken over time as it’s exposed to weather, while a properly selected mechanical fixing is built to last. Because every component in a set is engineered to the same specification, an installer isn’t left making on-site judgement calls about whether a particular base will suit a particular capital.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order just the shaft, base or capital from a Column Set separately?

Yes — individual column shafts, bases and capitals are also available through the Columns, Column Base and Column Capping ranges if you don’t need a fully matched bespoke set.

What diameter are Column Sets supplied in?

Column Sets are supplied at a 350mm column diameter as standard. Speak to your technical sales representative about custom diameters for non-standard projects.

Are Column Sets suitable for both residential and commercial facades?

Yes — the range is used across both, from feature entries on residential builds to statement column work on light commercial projects.
