C1000 COLUMN COVER

The C-1000 Series Composite Column Cover is a “butt joint” column cover that uses a keyhole effect where the bolt from the male attachment is the key. When placed through the teardrop shaped eyehole, gravity pulls the female half of the column cover down to lock it into place. These are fabricated using ACM Panels (Aluminum Composite Material).

C2000 COLUMN COVER

The C-2000 Series Composite Column Cover is a “reveal joint” column cover. The sections of the column covers are bolted to an angle that is attached to the structural beam. A gap is left between the sections for bolting the columns to the angles. This gap can then be filled with caulk, filled with a channel, or left open. These can be fabricated using ACM (Aluminum Composite Material).
