Painting Instructions Painting instructions for round and square PermaCast® columns: • Rinse and allow to dry completely.
• Prime with high quality exterior latex bonding primer or use an oil-based bonding primer in accordance with paint manufacturer’s instructions. A light coat of primer should be applied and allowed to cure fully. • Paint evenly with several light coats over column with a high quality exterior latex or oil-based paint in accordance with paint manufacturer’s instructions. • Do not paint PermaCast® columns using dark colors (dark colors are considered any color that falls within the L value of 56 to 0). L is a measure of lightness of an object and ranges from 0 (black) to 100 (white).
Tips 4 When ordering a decorative capital order the appropriate base for the column. 4 Decorative capitals for square PermaCast® slide over the shaft and do not use a plug. These decorative capitals will not add or subtract from the overall height.
4 When installing a decorative capital on fluted, recessed panel, or square columns, the capital slides over the shaft. The taller capitals will cover the flutes and require additional caulking to finish. 4 Verify exact opening measurement prior to ordering column length. 4 When installing a PermaCast® column, verify concentric loading of column. 100% of bottommust contact substrate and 75% of top must contact soffit. 4 When attaching hand rails or corner iron to PermaCast® columns, holes must be pre-drilled before applying screws. 4 When ordering panel moulding for square PermaCast® columns, make sure to order enough for four sides of the column. 4 Split columns are left partially intact. Cut with masonry or carbide tip blade. 4 All custom split columns, caps, and bases are nonrefundable. COLUMN SHAFT CAPITAL PLATE NECK MOULD CAPITAL
