Design & installation notes

Because the column is core-drilled, it can be paired with compatible plumbing and/or lighting components depending on your build. When planning your layout, consider access for freight delivery and equipment for safe unloading and positioning. The polished faces are intended to be a visual highlight, so orient the column where the finish can be appreciated up close and in changing light.

If you are specifying multiple units, note that natural stone varies—each polished sides basalt column will have its own character, tone, and subtle surface details. This natural variation is part of the appeal of a polished sides basalt column in high-end landscape design.
