Wrapped around real columns
Column covers are measured around out-of-square concrete, base plates, fireproofing, and existing anchors. The cover has to close cleanly without forcing a square sleeve onto an irregular column.

Why The Grate Guys
What to expect from column covers in Orillia
Access panels preserved
Where columns carry electrical, alarm, sprinkler, or inspection points, the cover is broken with removable panels or service cut-outs. Decorative metal should not bury equipment that needs future access.
Impact edges reinforced
Retail, lobby, parkade, and warehouse columns get hit at different heights. Kick plates, heavier lower sections, or replaceable panels are used where carts and pallet jacks contact the cover.
Finish matched to space
Stainless, powder-coated aluminum, formed steel, or brushed panels are selected around visibility and wear. A public lobby column needs a different finish than a back-of-house guard sleeve.
Made in Canada
Why Canadian-made metalwork matters
Custom metalwork made in Canada gives contractors, property teams, and facilities tighter quality control, faster lead times, and fewer cross-border delays. The work is fabricated in our Toronto shop, with Canadian steel and other metals selected when the application requires them.
Custom, local, built to spec
We support your column covers with Canadian-made fabrication, Canadian steel, clear local coordination, and a shop team close enough to solve site details before they become delays.
