Finishing off stone renovation projects properly will both protect your investment and optimize their aesthetic appeal. For design elements featuring posts – such as retaining walls, pergolas, overhangs and porch supports – post caps are essential. K2 Stone Solid Stone Post Caps are designed to provide a protective top surface for any type of post. Made from a solid piece of stone, they typically overhang the post slightly to provide a drip edge for water to flow off the surface. This can help prevent moisture from permeating into the post structure and compromising its integrity. K2 Stone post caps are available in any size combination up to 24" x 24" and are a minimum of 2" thick, cut on the top bottom surfaces. All of our post caps have flamed edges (using a firing process that creates a textured surface), sealing and polishing are optional.
Ocean Pearl products and accessories feature slate with a unique geology that can only be found on Vancouver Island. The colour palette of blue/grey, punctuated with occasional white quartz veins will complement many existing stone and wood treatments.
At the front entrance of the house, this product can be used to cleanly finish posts that support a port cochére, front door overhang or verandah roof. As these architectural features are used primarily to deflect rain and snow, proper capping is essential to prevent environmental damage to the structure.
Around the back, patio 'rooms' with columns that support pergolas or roofs can also benefit from products such as Ocean Pearl Solid Stone Post Caps. As can gate posts or the posts that punctuate retaining walls around a pool area, garden or yard.
While preserving structural integrity is vitally important for natural stone products, homeowners also love the look of a properly installed and finished stone post. It suggests that a property has been well designed and constructed and diligently cared for.
