Smooth pilasters are an architectural feature which resemble columns in that they have a base and a capital, or top. Unlike columns, smooth pilasters are rectangular in shape. Smooth pilasters are placed on the vertical sides of doors and windows on the exterior of your house. While smooth pilasters do not “support” anything, they do bring the classical feel of columns to your house.

What is the difference between smooth pilasters and other pilaster styles? The area between the capitals and bases of smooth pilasters do not have fluting, panels, or any other decorative features. Smooth pilasters will lend a deceptively simple, elegant touch to your windows, doors, and your home’s exterior.

Smooth pilasters can be purchased primed and ready to paint. After painting, you can actually install your smooth pilasters yourself, if you choose. Installation is relatively easy.

Smooth pilasters will brighten the appearance of your doors and windows. These pilasters will add another layer of depth to the exterior of your home, making your home more interesting to the eye. You will be happy that you chose smooth pilasters to give your house a “face-lift.”
