Quality at Every Turn
AT TURNCR AFT THE QUALITY STARTS WITH THE MATERIALS.
As a division of Cascade Wood Products, we have
direct control of the raw materials used in our wood
products. Unlike other column manufacturers,
our ability to monitor materials at each step of the
process ensures every Turncraft wood column
will offer both the natural beauty and the quality
needed to stand the test of time. Quality control is
further improved by using specialized machinery
unique to each product line. By keeping our
manufacturing facilities separate, we can better
monitor, control and improve how well and how
Thoughtful design, exceptional materials
and fine workmanship.
efficiently all of our products are constructed.
CREATING BEAUTY IS AN EXACTING PROCESS.
For Architectural Series columns, finger-jointed* or solid staves are milled to required
dimensions, assembled using the strongest Type-I waterproof glue, then metal-banded
for curing. A computer-controlled lathe turns the assembled shaft to the precise taper
desired, complete with true architectural entasis. The top is profiled, the entire column
is machine sanded and flutes are milled at precise intervals and depths, ending in half-
rounds at the top and bottom (except on Greek Doric).
ALTERNATIVE BUILDING MATERIALS
Turncraft has responded to the growing demand for alternative building materials.
Computer-guided
precision is our
trademark.
In 1994, we introduced our Poly-Classic® line of fiberglass-reinforced polymer (FRP)
columns to offer customers a more versatile and durable alternative. In 2005, we added the
Poly-Classic® Craftsman line—a popular design made of expanded cellular PVC for
easy assembly and virtually maintenance-free performance.
CUSTOM SOLUTIONS
While Turncraft offers an extremely diverse lineup of products
in more sizes and styles, we are also here to serve your
imagination. With our access to the finest building materials,
if you can dream it we can build it for you.
* Using finger-jointed pieces conserves wood resources, reduces
potential for warping and bow, and helps prevent checking or
cracking of finished surfaces.
