Worthington Millwork Architectural Columns Are Built To Last A Lifetime

Although an integral part of ancient history construction practices, architectural columns are still being used today.

PANAMA CITY, FL, July 15, 2012

The first use of columns in construction was strictly for structural support. Because these were visible posts, the ancient architects began adding distinct design touches to their columns as a way of improving the exterior look of a building. Today, those same decorative touches are added to the vast assortment of architectural columns manufactured by Worthington Millwork. Whether the purpose is load bearing or simple aesthetics, Worthington Millwork columns are a perfect choice for any project.

The ancient columns were all made of stone. As proven over time, stone can crumble and deteriorate. Worthington Millwork brings the look of these classic columns into the 21st century by utilizing modern manufacturing techniques and materials. Their columns are offered for sale in cast fiberglass, wound fiberglass, wood, polymer stone and PVC. They range in diameter from 6" to 36" and can reach heights of 36'. All the Worthington Mill columns are load bearing and are simple to install.
