HB&G Rough-Sawn PermaCast Columns
There are many benefits of a composite column over wood columns. First, composite columns are weather-resistant, insect-proof, waterproof and can be used indoors and outdoors without worry. You can throw your worst at them, and they will not rot or dent.
HB&G has been producing millwork products since 1880 and is now one of the largest manufacturers of synthetic columns in North America. With HB&G's PermaCast Columns, you can choose from the broadest array of sizes and styles of composite columns, caps and bases.
Take nothing for granted; HB&G does extensive engineering research and testing, resulting in the latest code approvals nationwide.

The biggest advantage of HB&G PermaCast columns is the way they are made using the latest spin-casting technology. This process allows for a more consistent uniform wall thickness, less weight and even more strength. In the case of the square columns, the corners are more architecturally square than pultruded columns. Column walls have a more consistent thickness assuring there are no weak spots. They contain more fibreglass and less filler which makes them even stronger. They also hold more of a load compared to pultruded columns of the same size.
