Aluminum Column Covers can be radiused, square or oval in shape with caulked, reveal or butt joints. They can have incorporated top, bottom and intermediate reveals. They can be furnished with sound deading material applied to reduce noise on impact. These column covers are fabricated on press breaks and roll-forming equipment as shapes require. In most cases the panels have ½" minimum joints sealed with backer rod and sealant, however, reveal and butt jointing are also available. They are an ideal solution for interior and exterior column enclosure.

Attachment
Column covers are typically attached to a sub-framing system consisting of structural steel studs and clip angles attached to the building structure. They can also be attached directly to structural steel columns and concrete columns if room for sub-framing is not available. All column covers are engineered to withstand the required design loads.
