Pier Caps & Fence Capping

Pier caps and fence capping provide a refined finishing detail for masonry piers, gate pillars and fence lines. Their overhanging profiles add definition, proportion and visual interest while helping create a consistent architectural finish across the property frontage.

Thermatech manufactures lightweight pier caps and fence capping from high-density expanded polystyrene (EPS) with a durable exterior coating. Profiles are easier to handle than comparable solid masonry components and can be produced in a range of sizes and styles to suit different fence and façade designs.

Selected profiles may also be designed to accommodate integrated lighting features where suitable. Lighting requirements should be planned and coordinated with the relevant trades before manufacture and installation. Choose from Thermatech’s existing catalogue or contact our team to discuss a customised profile for your project.

Design Options for Polystyrene Pier Caps and Fence Capping

Pier caps and fence-capping profiles can be produced in a range of shapes, depths and proportions to complement contemporary, Hamptons, Art Deco and traditional properties. Designs may be clean and understated or incorporate stepped, sloping or more decorative details to suit the surrounding architecture.

Pier caps can be custom-sized to suit the finished dimensions of individual masonry piers and gate pillars. Fence-capping profiles can also be manufactured for different wall widths, allowing the cap and wall overhang to remain consistent along the complete fence line.

Pier caps and fence capping may be used separately or coordinated to create a unified design across entrances, gate posts and boundary walls. Thermatech can manufacture profiles from existing designs or develop custom options to suit the dimensions and visual requirements of a particular project.

Benefits of Lightweight Pier Caps and Fence Capping

Lightweight EPS pier caps and fence capping offer several practical design and installation advantages:

  • Lightweight Construction: EPS profiles are significantly lighter than comparable concrete or masonry components. This makes them easier to transport, handle and position while placing less additional load on the supporting structure. Final suitability and fixing requirements should always be confirmed for each project.
  • Durable Exterior Finish: When correctly installed, sealed and painted, Thermatech mouldings are designed for exterior applications and provide a durable, low-maintenance decorative finish.
  • Flexible Design Options: Profiles can be produced in traditional, Hamptons, Art Deco and contemporary styles to complement different homes, developments and landscape designs.
  • Custom Sizing: Pier caps can be manufactured to suit individual pier dimensions, while fence-capping profiles can be produced for different wall widths and project requirements.
  • Consistent Architectural Detailing: Coordinating pier caps and fence capping helps create a consistent finish across entrance pillars, gate posts and boundary walls.

Optional Lighting Integration

Selected pier-cap and fence-capping profiles may be designed to accommodate integrated lighting features where suitable. Lighting requirements, cable access and electrical work should be planned before manufacture and coordinated with the relevant qualified trades.

Including lighting during the design stage allows the moulding profile, overhang and installation requirements to be considered together. Contact Thermatech before ordering if lighting is intended for the project.

Straightforward Installation

Compared with heavy masonry components, lightweight EPS mouldings are generally easier to transport, position and install. Installation should be completed by a suitably experienced tradesperson using properly prepared surfaces, approved adhesives and good building practices.

  1. Check Dimensions: Confirm the finished pier or wall measurements before ordering or installing the profiles.
  2. Prepare the Surface: The supporting surface should be sound, clean and suitable for the nominated fixing system.
  3. Position and Fix: Install the mouldings using approved construction adhesives and appropriate fixing methods for the project.
  4. Join and Seal: Complete joints and transitions carefully to provide a consistent finish across the pier caps and fence capping.
  5. Finish and Paint: Once installed and properly prepared, the profiles can be coated with a suitable exterior acrylic paint intended for masonry surfaces.
