Column casings are enclosures that provide a prescribed fire-rating protection for your erected columns. Column casings are made from fire-rating material such as gypsum, and besides protection, they can also be stylishly designed to give you the double satisfaction off protection and beauty.
These encasements like most finished products are refined raw materials. The materials usually used in making column cases include; aluminum and steel, gypsum, plywood, polymer and stone.
These encasements are used to provide artistic covers for otherwise unsightly columns. The various raw materials used to make column casings give them a somewhat specific nature.
