The Pendock Radius range comprises six individual column casing types, which are manufactured in a choice of standard shapes and materials, as well as bespoke options, which are manufactured to match specific project dimensions.
Both the circular MDF-CL and the square PLY-SQ casings are for interior applications only and are manufactured using preformed MDF and plywood respectively. While they can be left plain for on-site decoration, they are typically specified with a durable and decorative high pressure laminate (HPL) finish.
The circular GRG-CL range is also for interior use only are usually left plain for painting or finishing on-site. Manufactured from glass reinforced gypsum, they are produced from moulds in standard or bespoke sizes and shapes.
For exterior and interior applications, the options include the circular MET-CL and square MET-SQ column casings, both of which are available in aluminium and stainless steel, together with the glass reinforced plastic GRP-CL casings range, which are produced from moulds.
Aluminium column casing ranges can be specified with a PPC finish, although brushed; polished; textured; patterned and perforated options are also available for both aluminium and stainless steel, which are manufactured in bespoke sizes and shapes for individual projects. Bespoke options also feature in the GRP range, which can be specified in standard circular shapes and bespoke dimensions or forms.
The inherent weather resistance and high durability of metal and GRP makes them an ideal choice for external projects, where structural steel work or concrete columns need to be concealed. GRP is also a good choice for indoor swimming pools and larger aquatic centres as they are unaffected by water and high humidity levels, or chlorine’s corrosive properties.
Buildings with high footfall, such as conference venues, shopping centres, schools & colleges, airports and hospitals, usually require the greatest level of durability. This is best provided by pre-finished products using durable high-pressure laminate (HPL), alongside stainless steel or aluminium with polyester powder-coated finishes.
