What are pilasters?

pilasters are thin columns that seem to be built into the wall into the homes of Greek style. These columns can be very bright or extremely decorated. They are different from conventional columns only in the fact that they seem to be built into the surface of the house of the house rather than standing from it. In addition, they usually have a column of 16 or 17th century with narrow columns and decorative peaks and bottoms. You can find them inside and outside the house. In both cases, pilasters are used for decoration. They can add European taste to verand, gardens, garages and high fences. Inside, the columns can add style to dividers of rooms, fireplaces, walls, furniture, doors and even some cabinets. Each style or design has fine differences. Of these three patterns and Number of other styles, they have evolved that combine aspects of everyone. The Italian Renaissance, Italian, Beaux Arts and Neoclassical are all variations on one of the original three patterns. Usually these rings are placed in 3 or 4 feet (about 91.5 to 122 cm) intervals.

Greek revival of pilasters are usually made to look like white marble. The shaft is created in one of the three styles: DORIC, Ionic or Corinthian. Dorice pilasters have pulled shafts with shaped plates at the top and without base. Ionic has the same grooved shaft, but the upper and bottom has two decorated, symmetrical spirals. Corinthian pilasters offer the same grooved shaft, but the peaks and bottoms are made of extremely complex leaf patterns and fleur-de-lys.

Georgian Revival Pilasters are smooth, high rectangles that contain a three -stage base and symmetrical spirals about 1 foot (about 30.5 cm) down from the top of the column. The top repeats the pattern of the three -stage base.
