| Finish | Unfinished - suitable for staining, oiling or painting |
| Use | Internal staircase and landing balustrade newel posts |
What it's used for
- Capping the top of a newel post at the base, top, or landing turn of a staircase
- Adding a defined pyramid finish to landing balustrade corner posts
- Replacement of a damaged or missing cap on an existing white oak or hardwood newel
- Matching heritage-style stair components in renovation or new-build joinery schemes
Fitting and handling
Before fitting, allow the cap to acclimatise to the temperature and humidity of the room for at least 48 hours, particularly in centrally heated homes, to minimise any movement after installation. The cap is typically fixed using a suitable timber adhesive or a countersunk screw from below through the newel post, with the fixing point concealed before final finishing. Apply your chosen stain, oil, or paint after fitting to achieve a consistent colour match across your staircase components.
FAQ
Will this cap fit a standard 90mm or 100mm newel post?
The cap is sized at 115 x 115mm across its base, which is designed to sit over or flush-mount onto newel posts in the 90mm to 115mm range. Check the top dimension of your newel post before ordering, as the cap should overhang the post slightly for the best visual result.
Can I stain this white oak cap to match pine or softwood stairs?
White oak takes stain well and can be finished to a close match with many softwood tones using a suitable wood stain or tinted oil. Because oak has a more open grain than pine, we recommend applying a grain filler or sealer first if you want a very smooth, uniform result.
Do you sell matching newel posts and balustrade components?
Yes. Nottage Timber Merchants stocks a range of newel posts and oak mouldings that can be combined with this cap. Browse the relevant collections on our site or contact our Bridgend team for help selecting compatible components.
