Installation

Column covers are typically manufactured in two halves. They are attached directly to structural columns utilizing clip attachments to these structural members. Allow 4 inches clearance on each side of column for attachment and return ends. The hairline/butt joint design uses a ‘snap together’ design with integrated stem and groove. Design requires ¾” clearance to slide the stem half into the locking groove.
