Whether you are considering replacing your porch columns or adding columns to your home for the first time, installing new columns on your home can be a great way to transform its look and increase its curb appeal. While columns have been used for many years in residential architecture as a way to give a home a unique decorative flair as well as to make it stand out from the rest of the neighborhood, columns have traditionally been made out of wood, stone, and other materials. However, porch columns are now also increasingly being made out of fiberglass, as fiberglass columns bring the perfect blend of function and beauty to any home. If you are considering adding columns to your home, here are just a few of the reasons you should consider choosing fiberglass.

They say it's the little things that turn a house into a home, and as cliche, as it might sound, it's true. For instance, when used on a porch, architectural columns tend to accentuate its facade, adding a touch of grandeur to the entire building. When creatively integrated into interior design, these columns can help create a fantastic focal point. However, the use of these columns isn't limited to residential projects only as they can also be used to enhance the aesthetic appeal of a commercial building. If they're part of your next project, ensure you use durable ones such as fiberglass columns.

For thousands of years, columns have provided vital structural support, elegant aesthetics and much more. As vital architectural elements, columns have always been capable of making powerful statements. These included the Doric, Ionic and Corinthian columns of ancient Greece. Aristotle, one of its most famed philosophers, wisely asserted that  "Quality is not an act, it is a habit."

One of the great things about living in the United States is the huge variety of choices you have in the marketplace. You have almost unlimited option when it comes to picking out cars, and clothes, and your choices say a lot about who you are, what your taste is, and how you spend your money. The one big purchase where your options are the most limited is in your home--unless you can afford a truly custom build, the details you get to choose in your home are in inverse proportion to the money you spend. It's a little unnerving when every house on the block is so similar you're not entirely sure which driveway is yours. 

If only you could wave your magic hammer and give your home a facelift--change up some details and add some architectural interest to the facade and the interior--without raiding the kid's college funds.
