STONE BLACK PIER CAPS 5CM: Stone Black Pier Caps (5cm thick). A coping stone is used to cap free-standing pillars. Pier Caps, also known as Pillar Caps, are the ornamental tops you often find on pillars on each side of a gated entrance or a raised end of a wall pier. Pier caps perfectly complement a wall topped with coping stones in either a matching or contrasting colour. Our natural stone pier caps provide a seal to protect the brickwork or stonework beneath them. They play important role in preventing rainfall from penetrating the pillars and preventing water (rain) from damaging the brickwork and pillars. OUR PIER CAPS STYLES: At Pisastone®, pyramid tops are the most popular style of pier cap, giving the best protection from the rain. On the other hand, flat top caps offer the same protective seal and are often chosen to mount finials such as balls or lighting. Pisastone® can pre-drill all pier caps to fit finials if required. These Flat Stone Black Pier Caps (5cm thick) are the flat style with three additional options: 1. Drip Groove | 2. Chamfered Edge | 3. Polishing edge. Therefore, upon your request, Pisastone® provides durable caps with a drip line, which is a groove underneath the pier cap that collects water and drips it away from the wall. On the other hand, chamfered and polished edges enhance the contemporary look of our pier caps. The decorative sides on a cap overhang the wall so the rainwater falls away from the pier, reducing water stains and wear on the wall surface.
