Classical Creations Stepped Flat Pier Cap

Classical Creations Stepped Flat Pier Cap

Give your pillars a timeless finishing touch with the Classical Creations Stepped Flat Pier Cap. Designed with a traditional English-inspired stepped profile, these pier caps add character and architectural detail while helping protect the top of your pillars from rainwater and changing weather conditions.

Traditional Stepped Design

The stepped profile creates a classic appearance that works particularly well with traditional properties, garden walls, entrance pillars and other masonry features. The design adds visual interest without being overly elaborate, making it a versatile option for completing a range of pillar styles. As well as enhancing the appearance of your pillars, the pier caps perform an important practical function. They help prevent rainwater from sitting on the top of the pillar or running down its surface, which can contribute to frost damage and the build-up of algae and moss.

Designed for Optional Spheres

Spheres are supplied separately from the Stepped Flat Pier Caps, giving you the flexibility to use the caps on their own or add a decorative sphere for a more distinctive finish. The pier caps are manufactured with a 4-inch hole through the centre to accommodate the sphere. Each sphere has a stump protruding from its base, which slots into the hole after it has been filled with mortar. For additional security and durability, the spheres are also manufactured with a steel bar.

Practical Protection for Your Pillars

Pier caps are an important part of protecting brick pillars from prolonged exposure to rainwater. By providing a protective top layer, the Stepped Flat Pier Cap helps minimise water sitting on or running down the surface of the pillar, helping to reduce the potential for frost damage and unwanted algae or moss growth. The caps are designed to be easy to fit and are available in a range of sizes and finishes, making it straightforward to find an option that complements your existing brickwork, walls or landscaping.

Roof Tiles & Fittings:
