Specifications
| Material | Pine |
|---|---|
| Profile | Ball top cap |
| Nominal Size | Fits 90mm newel post |
| Finish | Machined, unfinished (ready to paint or stain) |
| Use Class | Interior use |
What it's used for
- Finishing the top of 90mm newel posts on interior staircases
- Completing balustrade installations on landings and mezzanine levels
- Replacing worn or damaged post caps during stair refurbishments
- Providing a decorative yet traditional detail on newel posts in hallways and split-level properties
Fitting and handling
Allow the cap to acclimatise indoors for 48 hours before fitting, particularly in rooms with underfloor heating or variable temperature, to reduce any movement after installation. The cap is designed to sit over the newel post head and can be secured with a suitable interior wood adhesive or a discrete fixing from below. Once fitted, finish with your chosen interior wood paint, primer and topcoat, or a stain and varnish system to match your existing joinery.
FAQ
Will this ball post cap fit a 90mm newel post exactly?
Yes, this cap is machined specifically to fit a 90mm newel post. If your newel post has been cut slightly proud or has an uneven top, a light sand to level the surface before fitting will help achieve a flush, neat finish.
Can I paint or stain this pine ball cap to match my existing staircase?
Yes. The cap is supplied unfinished, so it accepts interior wood paint, primer, stain, and varnish. Lightly sand before applying any finish and use a knotting solution on any visible resin knots before priming to prevent bleed-through.
Is this cap suitable for outdoor use?
No. This cap is intended for interior use only. Pine without treatment is not suitable for exposed external conditions. For outdoor newel posts, a treated or hardwood alternative would be more appropriate.
