Extra-Smooth Flat Pillar Cap - Polished-Feel Finish with Drip Edge
Extra-Smooth Flat Pillar Cap: what it is
The extra-smooth flat pillar cap is the flat-profile capping piece with an extra-smooth surface, designed for pillars with a contemporary look. It has a drip edge on the underside, so it effectively protects the pillar it's installed on without giving up a clean, straight line.
✅ Key advantages
Extra-smooth surface: an exposed face with no visible pore, well above the finish of a conventional precast piece.
Flat profile: a straight, horizontal edge, the natural choice for enclosures with modern lines.
Underside drip edge: protects the pillar by cutting off water running down its exposed face.
Solid piece: 19.5 kg per unit, with enough mass not to shift in the wind or from a heavy door being slammed.
Two colours: white and cement grey, two neutral tones that combine with almost any enclosure.
🏗️ Recommended applications
Capping enclosure pillars with straight lines.
Capping sliding and hinged gate piers.
Finishing buttresses in exposed-concrete walls.
Capping pillars at entrances and walkways.
Garden projects with a minimalist look.

🧰 Installation
Level and clean the top of the pillar; on such a smooth piece, any grain of grit left underneath will leave the cap unsteady.
Dry-fit the piece and spread the overhang evenly on all four sides.
Apply concrete-precast adhesive in interior beads, without reaching the edge.
Bed it without striking with a metal mallet: use a wood block or a rubber mallet so as not to mark the exposed face.
Check level in both directions and remove any adhesive spillage while fresh.
Check that the drip-edge groove is clear all the way round.

💡 Professional tip: extra-smooth surfaces show every scuff, so don't rest them on edge on gravel or drag them across the pallet. Lift them onto the pillar horizontally and with two people: a poorly gripped 19.5 kg piece almost always ends up with a chipped corner, and on a smooth face there's no way to hide that chip.
