The beauty of architectural columns has been enhanced by the elegant vertical shadowing effect of fluting for centuries, and Melton Classics carries on that tradition with its authentically designed fluted columns. Melton Classics offers our architecturally authentic fluted columns crafted in eight quality low maintenance materials. We offer our fluted columns round or square with tapered or straight shafts, and embellished with your choice of a myriad of classical, contemporary or custom capital and base designs.

We can create any design you wish in any wood species for application of a paint or stain finish.
There are two main fluting styles which are found in architectural fluted columns from antiquity, Ionic and Doric. Ionic fluted columns have 24 semi-circular flutes with a flat surface between the flutes called a fillet. Doric fluted columns like the photo at right are constructed with 20 flutes that come to a point between each flute.
