When building a stair railing, newel posts are a critical component. Stair posts serve as support poles that help bear the weight of the rest of the stairway. Newel posts are located at the ends of a handrail or at the foot and top of a flight of stairs. They are also placed at locations where the stairway changes directions.
Consider your project's needs when choosing the right stair parts. Do you need corner posts, end posts or both? What material do you want? Aluminum and vinyl will stand up to outdoor wear and tear. A powder-coated finish provides added durability for lasting wear. When finishing off the stair railing, newel cap posts provide the finishing touch. Newel posts and caps come in different styles and colours. Choose the type that suits your living space and create a stair banister that is both secure and stylish.
