The Story
The oak flat newel cap, 90mm x 90mm, gives a clean square finish to the top of a newel post on staircases and landings. Machined from oak, it fits standard 90mm newel posts and accepts stain, paint or varnish to match any staircase scheme.
Specifications
| Property | Detail |
|---|---|
| Material | Oak |
| Nominal Size | 90mm x 90mm |
| Profile | Flat |
| Finish | Machined, unfinished - ready to paint, stain or varnish |
| Grade | Joinery grade |
What it's used for
- Capping the top of a 90mm square newel post at the base or head of a staircase
- Finishing landing newel posts where a flat, square profile suits a traditional or contemporary stair design
- Replacing a damaged or missing newel cap during a stair refurbishment
- New stair installations where a neat, flush top detail is required rather than a turned or decorative cap
Fitting and handling
Allow the cap to acclimatise inside the building for at least 48 hours before fitting, particularly in heated homes, to reduce movement after installation. Fix using a suitable wood adhesive applied to the top of the newel post, ensuring the cap is centred and square before clamping or weighting while the adhesive sets. Apply your chosen finish, whether oil, stain or varnish, once fitted and sanded smooth to protect the oak and achieve an even colour.
FAQ
Will this cap fit a standard 90mm newel post?
Yes. This cap is sized at 90mm x 90mm to correspond with standard 90mm square newel posts commonly used on UK staircases. Check the top face of your existing post before ordering to confirm the size.
Can I paint this oak newel cap rather than staining it?
Yes. The cap is supplied unfinished and will accept paint, stain, oil or varnish. If painting, apply a suitable wood primer first to seal the grain and achieve a smooth, even topcoat.
Is this cap suitable for a replacement rather than a new build?
Yes, it works well as a replacement part. Remove the old cap carefully, clean up the top of the newel post, and refit using wood adhesive. Sand flush once set if needed before finishing.
