There are so many ways you can boost the curb appeal of your property, whether by tending to your garden or giving your walls a lick of paint. Whether you choose to undertake a professional renovation or a DIY weekend project, any changes you make to your exterior can dramatically improve the aesthetics of your home.
If your exterior currently features gate posts or boundary markers, then you may wish to adorn these with a pier cap installation. Pier caps can be fitted alongside your new posts and pillars, or as an add-on at a later date. These architectural additions bring with them a number of different benefits, including in a visual sense and on a more practical level.
Read on to find out more about the various aesthetic benefits of a pier cap installation.
Traditional Feel
One of the key benefits that comes with installing pier caps on your property is that they bring a traditional feel to your existing architecture. With their sharp stone corners and sloping elements, pier caps are capable of making an ordinary gate post appear regal and elegant, helping to improve the look of your entire exterior.
Protective & Durable
Sometimes, practical advantages can also bring aesthetic benefits, especially when it comes to cast stone architecture. In this way, pier caps can make your pillars and posts more hard wearing, in addition to improving their appearance. This is because they will direct water away from the main body of the post, helping to reduce weather damage.
In turn, reducing damage to your stone posts will help to keep your installation looking good for longer. As a result, pier caps can work in both a practical and an aesthetic way.
Platforms for Lighting
Another advantage of choosing to fit posts with pier caps is that they can be used as a base for outdoor lighting. If you’re looking to install entrance lamps or lights to your driveway, then these can be placed on top of a flat pier cap for an added sense of style, and for optimal brightness. You can even design pier caps with specific lantern types in mind, making these easier to fit once the cast stone is fully set.
