It has a shaped top and a pre-drilled 50mm hole. The 50mm diameter peg on the newel post sits inside this hole.

StairSupplies offers three different types of newel post caps. Each of these options are purely decorative and it comes down to stylistic preference in which you prefer. The pyramid cap is, as the name would suggest, a triangular cap that culminates in a single point at the top of the box newel. This cap works especially well with simpler box newels, such as the plane box newels because it adds a little more visual interest. The flat cap is recommended for some of the more ornate box newel designs, as you will want the emphasis to be on the beautiful fluting, recessing, or raising on the faces of the box newel. This cap is unassuming, yet elegant as it does not take away from the rest of the box newel. And the beveled cap is a mixture between the pyramid cap and the flat cap, as it features sloping edges. This cap perfectly complements box newels that already feature some kind of rounding in the faces, such as the chamfered box newels or the fluted box newels. How to Install Newel Posts Construction : All of our newel posts, no matter which design or length, are made from solid timber. No veneers or cladding is used in the construction of our newel posts. Featuring the 4444 Pin Top Rope twisted newel from the Victorian Series, this stairway is sophisticated and ornate.

Oak is a hardwood, which means it’s extremely tough and resistant to dents and scratches. Its distinctive tiger-stripe grain makes oak newel posts a great, eye-catching addition to traditional or modern homes. There are many different sub-categories within these seven styles, but we will let you explore them on your own. Further, there is a completely different style of box newel called the Craftsman Series Box Newels, but the differences between those box newels are more obvious to the naked eye, so we won’t waste your time here with the differences.

This project uses a beautiful 4010 Pin Top from the Colonial Series and is paired perfectly with Scroll Series Iron balusters and double basket balusters to emphasize the baluster’s natural curves. Pegged newel post—Generally the more decorative part of the post. The post has a 50mm diameter peg (also known as a dowel) on the bottom, and the post peg fits into a 50mm hole in the newel base.
