Adding bold, natural-looking elements to your home’s exterior is a wonderful way to transform it into the most impressive house on the block. Your home’s outdoor features like columns, deck supports, mailbox, and driveway entry are great places to add the visual interest you crave.
Upgrading your house columns may seem daunting, due to the weight and expense of real, stacked stone and brick. Faux brick and stone column wraps and sleeves have the same look and texture as natural stone and brick, without the expense and weight.
Read on to learn how you can use faux brick and stacked stone column wraps to add dimension and interest to your home’s exterior.
Uses of Outdoor Column Wraps and Sleeves
Faux outdoor column wraps are designed to make installation easy and affordable for you! Because they are made from durable polyurethane, every faux column variety is lightweight and easy to move. Because of this, you’ll save more money by avoiding the need to hire a professional. There are several ways you can add charm and personality with house column wraps!
Cover Your House Columns for a Pop of Character
The first thing people notice about your home is its exterior and front porch. Basic wood or painted front porch columns may not have the pizazz you’re looking for. By covering structural posts with faux stone column wraps, you’re making a major visual transformation.
Each column is made to mimic the rustic texture and appearance of real, natural stacked stone, creating a warm, welcoming entrance. You can even make a statement by covering your back deck columns to make it appear that your deck is being held up with stacked stone.
Accessories, such as column caps and risers to complete your project, are also available.
Turn Your Basic Mailbox Into a Focal Piece
You don’t have to settle for a bland mailbox, and you don’t have to spend a fortune hiring a contractor to install a real brick or stone one. With a faux brick or stone mailbox kit, adding visual appeal to your mailbox is easy! This product, made either from medium density polyethylene or high-density polyurethane, is built to withstand outdoor elements and won’t crack, chip, or fade. Many of these kits come with the matching column cap to finish the job.
Create a Welcoming Driveway Entry
Your home is your sanctuary. Treat yourself like a V.I.P. with a spectacular driveway entryway that welcomes you and your guests with style. If you have existing columns or lamp posts at your driveway’s entry, consider covering them with stunning stacked stone or brick sleeves. Faux sleeves require no maintenance and have the same natural beauty as real brick and stone.
