About Tuscan Bases

Tuscan
Bases are used with the classical Order of Tuscan
created by the
Etruscans (6th
Century BC).
They have one
rounded profile (Torus)
that sits on a
square (Plinth)
Imperial Productions®
offers them Load
Bearing made from
exterior
hardwood staves
glued together as done for the past 200 years.
Select from exterior
woods White Pine, White Oak, Western Red Cedar.
The maximum diameter
of the Torus is 36" (91.44cm)
with any size of
Plinth. Order 1 or 2
parts to any custom size and even parts of the column
shaft that may be
rotted.
See wood
treatment article to extend wood life
Decorative
Tuscan Bases are
hollow and do not hold load. They envelope
a load bearing plug
or the column shaft that supports the column's weight.
All are made from
molds (split or whole) from the following materials
ArchPolymerTM
an lite weight artificial wood
FRP-PolyCompTM
a
composite Fiberglass/calcium carbonate marble chips
GFRC-ZeamentTM
cement and Fiberglass composite
Finish your new Bases with
Specialty Paints or
Real Metal Coating

SPLIT BASES FOR COLUMN WRAP |
|
All of our bases can
be split for column wrap.
ArchPolymerTM
bases are very easy
to cut with a hand saw or hack-saw. You will loose the thickness of the
blade. We suggest cutting the base on the diagonal so that the join will
be mitigated. Use the approved adhesive and poly spackling compound to cover the
seam
FRP-PolyCompTM
are much harder to cut due to the hardness of the material. We recommend
ordering them precut, however if you cut them yourself we suggest a
reciprocating saw or saws-all with a thin blade. |
|
Issue: The bases of the columns are rotted and need to be replaced
Solution: an
Economical Approach for non National Trust Buildings |
|
The traditional base
is solid wood and holds the load of the column shaft.
For historic buildings we
can create exact reproductions.
For average homes where
there is economic constraints you create a load bearing
plug to hold the shaft weight and cover it with one of our composite bases. Take
2x4s or 2x6s Pressure Treated Lumber and glue and screw the pieces together on
their ends to create a laminated square larger than the column shaft bottom.
Cut the square with a jig saw into
a circle the same diameter as the bottom of the shaft so that the shaft will sit on the
new load bearing plug. Cover the plug with a composite base as seen below. The hole size
of the base should be slightly
larger than your load bearing plug accounting for the thickness of the blade if
you have to cut the base in half to wrap the plug. To order click
the BuyNow button on the size you need. |
