Pro Tips 4 When ordering a decorative capital order the appropriate base for the column. 4 Decorative capitals for square PermaCast®Plus slide over the shaft and do not use a plug. These decorative capitals will not add or subtract from the overall height. 4 When installing a decorative capital on fluted, recessed panel, or square columns, the capital slides over the shaft. The taller capitals will cover the flutes and require additional caulking to finish. 4 Verify exact opening measurement prior to ordering column length. 4 When installing a PermaCast®Plus column, verify concentric loading of column. 100% of bottom must contact substrate and 75% of top must contact soffit. 4 When attaching handrails or corner iron to PermaCast®Plus columns, holes must be pre-drilled before applying screws. 4 Split columns are left partially intact. Cut with masonry or carbide- tipped blade. 4 All custom split columns, adjusted flutes, caps, and bases are nonrefundable.
