The Skyline aluminium architectural range now includes a choice of contemporary column cases (round or square; one colour or multi-coloured) that can now be bought online through Rainclear Systems shop site https://www.rainclear.co.uk/resources/column-casings.html
What are column casings?
Aluminium column casing is a type of cladding that hides unsightly structural construction elements such as steelwork, concrete, timber, and service ducts in a contemporary and attractive fashion.
Skyline’s architecturally striking aluminium column casings are suitable for both external and internal applications. Designed to meet any profile and size requirements, they’re easy to install, with minimal visible fixings. They can also be fabricated to match or contrast with other products in the Skyline aluminium range such as fascia and soffit, wall coping and door canopies, depending on the impact or effect you want to create.

- An ecological solution
- Low maintenance

- Suitable for use on both new build and retrofit applications
- The secret-fix design means they can be fitted on columns externally or within the building

Why choose aluminium column casings?

The column casing range:
- Half-column casings
Use on walls where you need to conceal building elements or service ducts between floors. Alternatively, use the half-column casing as false columns to match interior design schemes requiring symmetry.
- Flat extension panels
Designed to allow for a modular construction, this type of casing is ideal for simplifying the design and installation process. Flat extension panels are available to create elliptical columns and wall features.
- Bespoke casings
Bringing ultimate versatility for designers, casings can be specified in bespoke sizes and shapes to meet individual project requirements, whether outside or inside.
