 Doric Columns

 Doric Order Design Page

The Doric Order of Columns has it's origins from the Dorian community in Greece during the 5th century. This sophisticated, yet simple Style has a modern appeal.  The capital has a graduated step on the abacus that is above the round echinus.  Doric columns always utilize Attic Bases with two convex Torus and a Square plinth.  In the case of the style Greek Doric there is no base and the column shafts are fluted. Imperial Productions® offers both smooth and fluted Doric columns, load bearing and decorative with Tapered and Non-Tapered shafts (ie stylus) and custom historic duplications. Most tapered shafts have the correct entasis (ie Taper ends 2/3rds down the stylus from the top of the shaft with the last third being straight. One can specify Whole or Split for Post Wrap or Pilaster applications. Non Wood composite columns are made from molds which includes FRP-PolyCompTM, Fiberglass,  ArchPolymerTM and GFRC-ZeamentTM These non-wood Doric columns are available 5 Feet to 30 Feet up to 36" diameters. Custom Hardwood Doric columns are made to a maximum of 36" diameter 3 to 24 Feet high in 24 hardwood species to any specified size with hollow or load bearing solid cores. For load bearing applications we offer White Oak Load Plugs that fit into the hollow center of the capital or base.  Finish your Capitals with Specialty Paints and Real Metal Coating 

 Standard Capitals and Bases sold separately 

 Design Theory: Doric Column Origins

The Doric Order of Columns is one of the three main Classical Greek orders of columns: Doric, Ionic and Corinthian. Doric uses an Attic Base however Greek Doric has no base.

Imperial Productions® offers Doric columns with Tapered or Non-Tapered stylus or shafts.  The shafts can be Fluted or Smooth. Tapered shafts may have the correct taper or entasis (ie Taper 2/3rds down the stylus from the top. The last third is straight ending at the Attic Base which is used on all orders except Tuscan. 

Imperial Productions® offers Doric columns both load bearing and decorative to wrap a load bearing posts or stand alone engaged against a wall to enhance a building's facade. Add columns to legitimize any modern building.

Doric Load Bearing Columns support the Entablature of a Classical or Modern structure. Larger diameters can support up to 20,000 lbs without internal supports.

Decorative Doric columns can stand alone as a whole column or be specified to be split. Split Doric columns can be engaged or placed against a solid wall or specified to be split-to-wrap a load bearing steel or wood post.
