A subtle textured finish is achieved when columns are formed using Fast-Tube™.

TEXTURAL FINISH

Architectural columns are now possible using the revolutionary Fast-Tube™ column form.

Cardboard forms leave distracting mechanical spiral lines. Fast-Tube™ creates a subtle texture of fabric, achieving a more natural, artistic look.

 

Troy Rutherford of Foresthill, California, designed, formed and poured these architectural columns for his patio.

ARCHITECTURAL REVEALS

By tying rope around the outside of the column, beautiful architectural reveals are formed as shown in this picture.

Credit for this innovation goes to Professor Mark West of CAST (Centre for Architectural Structures and Technology, Winnipeg, Manitoba), and Troy Rutherford of Foresthill California, who applied Mark's artistic ideas to the Fast-Tube™.

Troy explains, "I wanted an old world look to the columns. That's why I used nylon rope to create the rings that you see on them. I then stained the columns 'Malaysian buff' to match the floor you see in the picture."

Fast-Tube offers unlimited opportunities for the decorative concrete industry, architects and designers to apply their creativity to concrete columns.
