| When is a freestanding columbarium appropriate? |
|
| Freestanding columbariums are used 1) when the client wants a turn-key columbarium and/or 2) when the client isn't trying to integrate the columbarium into an existing architecture. Architarium can easily manufacture an exterior shell for its columbarium insert. |
| |

| What materials does the columbarium use? |
|
| Architarium’s columbariums are made of 100% stainless steel and first quality granite. |
|
|
The columbarium exterior uses thicker granite than the face plates. |
|
It is possible to use a second granite color for contrast. |

|
|
| How is the columbarium cap constructed? |
|
| There are two kinds of caps: the one that finishes the top of your freestanding columbarium and the ones on the ends. |
|
|
The default top cap and side cap thickness is 1.25". |
|
A thicker top cap can be requested. |
|
A thicker top cap is purely aesthetic (i.e. it serves no structural purpose) . |
|
A thicker top cap costs more to manufacture, ship and install than a 1.25" top cap. |
|
| |
| What architectural accents are available? |
| Architarium offers several options to add interest to your freestanding columbarium. These architectural accents will withstand exterior elements. |
|
|
Engraving: The granite can be engraved with a given shape and paint-filled. |
|
Frieze: A piece of granite can be cut into a given shape and applied to the granite columbarium exterior. |
|
Intarsia: A piece of granite can be cut into a given shape and set into the granite columbarium exterior. |
|
All of these methods require simple, closed-path line art which either Architarium or you can supply. |
|
| |
