Fluted Columns: Woodwork for Homes and Commercial Projects
Fluted columns, comprised of vertical grooves carved into their surface, catch light and shadow in a striking way. This makes them ideal for homeowners, designers, and builders seeking well-executed wood details. At H.A. Stiles, we specialize in crafting custom fluted columns from premium hardwoods, tailored for both interior and exterior use.
Why Fluted Columns Stand Out
Architectural Impact: The vertical lines of fluting draw the eye upward, which creates a sense of height and sophistication.
Historic Roots: Inspired by ancient Greek and Roman designs, fluted columns carry an organic beauty.
Modern Versatility: Whether you’re building in a traditional, colonial, or contemporary style, fluted columns complement a wide range of aesthetics.
Wood Species for Fluted Columns
Sapele
Color & Grain: Rich reddish-brown tones with an interlocking grain pattern that creates shimmering light effects when fluted.
Durability: Highly resistant to moisture and decay, which is great for exterior applications like porches and entryways.
African Mahogany
Warm Tones: Offers a golden to deep reddish-brown hue, excelling in modern or traditional designs.
Exceptional Strength: Stands up to both interior and exterior use. Excellent resistance to pests and weathering.
We also offer custom fluted columns in walnut, cherry, maple, white oak, and more. Columns can be provided raw, sanded, prepped for painting, or fully finished based on your specifications.
Interior & Exterior Applications
Our fluted columns are built to not only look great, but also perform. Popular uses include:
Entryways & Porches: Add curb appeal and create a welcoming entrance with stately fluted porch columns.
Interior Features: Use columns to divide open floor plans, flank fireplaces, or frame focal points in living spaces.
Retail & Hospitality: Perfect for boutique spaces, hotels, and commercial properties.
