Claims31
An architectural column, comprising:
- a tubular column body having a longitudinal axis extending from a first end to a second end, at least one inner layer, at least one support layer and at least one outer layer, wherein said support layer comprises a composite fabric including fibers.
A method of making an architectural column, comprising:
- forming an inner layer of a column body;
- forming a support layer of a column body;
- and
- forming an outer layer of a column body;
- wherein said support layer comprises a composite fabric having fibers and a bonding resin, and wherein said column has a longitudinal axis extending from a first end to a second end.
A method comprising:
- forming a column body including filament-winding an inner layer around a mandrel, wrapping a composite fabric around said inner layer, and filament-winding an outer layer around said composite fabric;
- wherein said composite fabric includes fibers and a bonding resin.
An architectural column, comprising a unidirectional fabric having fibers and a bonding resin, wherein at least 25% of said unidirectional fabric fibers by weight are aligned at about 0° to about 20° relative to a longitudinal axis of said column.
