CEI Materials Continues To Expand Product Offering With Architectural Column Covers

CEI Materials offers a wide range of column covers, from round, square, cone-shaped or custom for architectural projects.  These covers can be installed using three different types of attachment systems, Hairline, Caulked or Dry Joint, depending on the design requirements. Offering various diameters, the lengths can be as small as 11” to up to 142”. These covers not only offer design flexibility but from a visual perspective give a finalizing touch in the overall exterior or interior design of the building.

The covers also fulfill a more purposeful visual need to hide unattractive surfaces, elements, utilities and equipment. The column covers can also be fabricated to allow for incorporation of lighting, power and data systems. They are easy to install with all details being available in both Autocad & Revit.
