Doric columns originate from Greece, and are seen famously on the Parthenon. They were very basic, plain, and simply designed, yet very strong and sturdy.
Doric columns were used traditionally as structural support for large buildings and areas. They were also commonly used as ornamental pieces featured around specialty landmarks like the Parthenon.
We at The Cantera Stone Source like to continue on with the old traditional values of the ancient times and our Doric columns are built purposely for structural support and decorative/ornamental features.
The pattern known to the Doric column is generally very similar to the well known fluted column, except the grooved sections are in some cases curved. The shaft of the Doric column is generally quite thick and rounded compared to other column types. The shaft of the Doric column can also confuse the eye and seem as it were curved.
A common sized Doric column would contain at least 20 grooves around the shaft and the thicker the shaft the more grooves. The top of the Doric column is usually round in shape and quite smooth in texture.
Of course, with any of our natural stone products you can create your own elite designs and styles.
