Specifications

What it's used for

• Finishing the top of newel posts in cladding kit staircase assemblies where a flat, square-profile cap is required
• Providing a neat termination point on oak cladding kit newel posts at the base or landing level of a staircase
• Completing a balustrade installation to give a consistent, uniform look across all newel post heads
• Replacing worn or damaged existing flat caps on 115mm x 115mm newel posts in interior renovation projects

Fitting and handling

Allow the cap to acclimatise to the room's temperature and humidity for at least 48 hours before fixing, particularly in newly plastered or freshly heated spaces. Fix using a suitable wood adhesive or discrete secret nailing, ensuring the cap sits flush and square on the newel post head. Once fitted, finish with your chosen oil, stain, or varnish to match the surrounding oak joinery and to protect the surface from everyday wear.

FAQ

Will this cap fit a standard cladding kit newel post?

Yes. This cap is sized at 115mm x 115mm to suit standard cladding kit newel posts supplied at the same nominal dimension. Always check your post's actual head size before ordering to confirm compatibility.

Can this oak newel cap be used outdoors?

This cap is specified for interior use only. If you need a finish for an external staircase or balustrade, you should look for a component that has been treated or specified for exterior conditions.

Does the cap come pre-finished or ready to paint?

The cap is supplied machined and unfinished, so you can apply the stain, oil, or varnish of your choice to match the rest of your staircase. Lightly sand with a fine-grit paper before applying any finish for the best result.
