Flexi Column System

A modular column building system.

Customisable architectural columns indoor, outdoor, even illuminated to elevate entrances, transform facades and adapt to your design.

• Transform entrances with stylish, illuminated columns
• Mix, match, and reconfigure designs with modular ease
• Built for both traditional charm and modern architecture
• Customisable to your design requirements
• Usable indoors and out
• Configurable into multiple shapes
• Can incorporate lighting
• Can be decorated to match your style

There is now a questionaire so we can gather your opinions. Which we will be very grateful for.

We are using the parts to make columns, boolards and door surrounds.

How the Flexi Column System works

The system is a series of parts that slot together to enable different sizes and cross sections to be constructed. You can use those parts to create columns and half columns with and without bases and capitals.
Here are some of the column sections you can create with the various parts. Dimensions are approximate.

Flexi Column System

The columns are hollow, we have had ideas of using sections of columns to run pipes or cables down. You are able to create quarter sections and half sections you could use it like architrave or half circles against the wall.

Columns

We started off by developing columns

By slotting the parts together we can create many different sections, we can also add capitals and bases to the columns. 180º channels can be formed against the wall serving as decorative features or clever concealments for wiring, pipework, CCTV, and more.

It should be noted that the columns do not have structural strength, they will not hold up your ceiling.

Boolards

Whilst working on columns a new idea emerged quite by surprise. These were free standing columns we named these 'boolards'.

Here are some example Boolards, for outside and also interiors. These are prototypes from in and around our workshop.
These examples are tri circular in section - a rounded triangle like the top of a philips shaver.
They have been decorated with different finishes, they could be painted.

If you click on the pictures below you can see larger pictures.

The power for the lighting in these examples runs up the middle of the column, it should be possible to take them apart later and reassemble if the wiring up the interior were to need replacement or alteration.

Door Surrounds

When arranging column parts an imaginitive leap took us to door surrounds

Here are some example door surrounds. These light up with LEDs, the garage door example here is linked to motion detector so it lights up on motion. The LEDs could be different colours if you wanted them in blue or orange for example, perhaps for a night time venue. They can be the full height of the door or just part of the doorways height as shown on the garage door example. By default the surrounds are white, they can be painted to match the situation. Because the surrounds are made up of a series of separate components that slot together it should be possible to fit to the size of your door.

We are also working on mirror surrounds, like a dressing room mirror and also uplighters.

Showroom

We have nearly completed our showroom demonstrating some of what is possible. Examples:

Whats next?

Currently we are building examples and a showroom in order to be able to display and photograph completed display examples to inspire buyers. We hope to complete these works in late in 2026.

We are planning at the moment to launch late 2026 at a discounted rate (TBC), to customers living nearby, roughly 12 miles from Watton, where we are based. This will enable us to quickly and conveniently iron out any teething issues. The first few orders will probably take a few weeks to complete and process. If your interested in the products and would like to be an pioneer customer please contact us.

The area we are aiming to introduce the products columns, boolards, door surrounds etc is shown below:

In the future we may look to assign areas of the country to different agents if you would like to be considered please contact us below.

About me and some history...

After a long career in soft furnishings supplying national brands with bespoke products while also working from a local shop supplying the public I semi-retired. In 2014 I started a business making Pelmets with rounded ends / returns www.pelmets4u.co.uk still operating.

Whilst working on the pelmets business I realised there was an opportunity to make columns or parts thereof, seeing the potential in 2021. The pelmets used sections of cardboard tubes to make rounded ends initially and then to improve speed and strength I moved on to bent plastic parts. I began to see the possibilities of using pre made section components and extrusions and of them being assembled into more complicated shapes and sections. If I could supply the customer with a set of components it would reduce shipping difficulties and costs of sending a large preassembled product. Customers would be able to build a wide range of possible items without professional help. From this came the multiple parts of the flexi column system.

I am now in my mid seventies. My problem is I hadn’t anticipated how long it would take to get to where I am now and whilst I enjoy it I'm not going to carry on for ever. I'm now thinking about the best way to take this business forward and make it a success.

I have many thousands of pounds of invested in stock, jigs, dies etc.

So I am interested in talking to potential agents for the new flexicolumn system.
