WILMINGTON, N.C., March 1, 2005 — Chadsworth’s 1.800.COLUMNS are featured in the February Issue of HOME Magazine.  The Ultimate Insiders Guide to Unique and Hard to Find Home Goods and Services is an annual list of sometimes off-the-beaten-path but always-outstanding home-related products and shops.

Listed under Alternative Building Materials, Chadsworth’s 1.800.COLUMNS PolyStone® Columns topped the list.  ‘By merging classical styling with modern materials like lightweight spun-fiberglass and low-maintenance PVC, Chadsworth has produced a collection of stock and custom columns that will withstand the test of time.

Chadsworth’s PolyStone® columns are made of reinforced polyester resin, fiberglass and marble dust, and feature an architectural taper and a classical bead.  The Tuscan capitals and bases are made from the same material as the shafts.

No stranger to the readers of HOME, Chadsworth’s 1. 800.COLUMNS PolyStone® Column was the recipient of HOME Magazine’s 2001 American Building Products Award.  “The PolyStone® Composite Column was chosen because its design so clearly responds to the demands for form and function required by today’s lifestyles”, said then Editor Gale Steves, “The PolyStone® Column is a classic idea with a twist”.

“Architects, builders, designers, and homeowners tell us that our PolyStone® Column is an excellent product, and is the only choice when extra strength and durability are needed on the job, and we’re glad that Home Magazine agreed,” says Jeffrey L. Davis, the Founder and Principal Designer of Chadsworth’s 1.800.COLUMNS.

WILMINGTON, N.C., August 26, 2003 — R.J. Klein and Associates, Inc., architect and builder of Indianapolis Monthly Magazine’s 2003 DREAM HOME selected Chadsworth’s 1.800.COLUMNS PolyStone® Columns to be used on the interior and exterior of this year’s fabulous Dream Home.

R.J. Klein has been designing and building fine homes in Indianapolis since 1969, and is known for his creative designs as well as the beautiful moldings and millwork in the homes he builds.  “He creates homes that will be the historic residences of the future,” says interior designer Debra J. Smith.

The entrance hall introduces many details that repeat throughout the home.  Simple white Tuscan columns similar to those outside the home feature prominently in the entrance hall and continue into the great room, the kitchen, the screened porch, portico and pavilion.  The living space is the epitome of sophisticated design for people who prefer classic lines but casual living.  With the traffic pattern of the house, it’s easy to accommodate gatherings for more than 50 people.  The Tuscan columns divide the room without detracting from its openness.

One Hundred and one Tuscan PolyStone® columns were used on the house, whose exterior is reminiscent of homes seen in Nantucket, with shaker shingles, Tuscan columns and pristine white trim. The Dream Home’s public spaces, including the great room, kitchen and dining room, pay homage to the era of grand family homes when large rooms satisfied both the formal and informal living needs of the homeowners.

The Dream House benefits the Dyslexia Institute of Indiana, and has raised more than $500,000 for the group.  Over 65,000 visitors are expected to tour the home while it is open to the public.

Chadsworth Named #1 Preferred Brand in Professional Builder Brand Use Study Again

WILMINGTON, N.C., January 1, 2002 — Chadsworth’s 1.800.COLUMNS has captured the No. 1 spot in the Columns Category for the fourth year in Professional Builder’s nationwide survey.  The magazine surveys over 20,000 builders annually to determine the brand of building materials, supplies and services they prefer and once again they have chosen Chadsworth as the Number 1 Column.

“There are only 125 Brand Leaders, says Professional Builder’s Editor Jay McKenzie, “and Chadsworth’s 1.800.COLUMNS is at the top of this very elite group”.

Approaching its 15th year in business, Chadsworth’s 1.800.COLUMNS’ success is attributed mainly to Mr. Jeff Davis, the company’s Founder and Principal Designer.  Mr. Davis saw the potential in the marketplace, and fifteen years ago, he borrowed against his parents’ modest home, and started the company.  Chadsworth is still run as a family business today.  In 1992 the company reached into the international market by adding an office in London.  In 1996 Mr. Davis changed the name of the company to Chadsworth’s 1.800.COLUMNS, after maneuvering wisely and buying the number from a Canadian company.  The latest coup was obtaining the internet designation http://www.columns.com domain to go along with Jeff’s philosophy that “we must make it easy for people to get in touch with us”.

There are literally hundreds of places to purchase columns today, but Mr. Davis seems to have his finger on the pulse of the market, and Chadsworth’s 1.800.COLUMNS is leading the industry.
