Troy, Alabama – Columns Inc, the original manufacturer of aluminum columns, is proud to announce the launch of their new website at www.ColumnsInc.com. The company revolutionized the architectural columns industry in 1963 when they were first to introduce aluminum columns. These new columns had a lower cost than existing wood columns, and they became an instant success when builders and homeowners realized that this new type of column wouldn’t decay, crack, split, and couldn’t be destroyed by insects.

“The Columns Inc. website has been completely redesigned to reflect the quality of the product, and to make it easy to find just the right style of aluminum columns,” according to Tim Bobo of HB&G Building Products. HB&G acquired the exclusive rights to manufacture, market, sell and distribute aluminum columns by Columns Inc. in early 2011 and has made significant progress in streamlining the entire process since then. According to Bobo, “A new website was the logical next step.”

“This new site has a fresh look and feel, with straightforward navigation that should give our longtime customers a better user experience,” adds Mike Gibbons, Vice President of Sales & Marketing at HB&G. “With so many sizes and styles available we felt it was important to help the user get right to the specifications, diagrams and images they’re looking for.”

Whether a visitor is looking for classic round columns, traditional square columns, caps and based, or any of the specialty aluminum columns in the Columns Inc. lineup, the products and specs are easy to locate with multiple ways to get to them. In the next phase of website development HB&G plans to showcase the Columns, Inc. product line with installation videos and a photo gallery.
