Consisting of a steel post insert and a premium capped composite post sleeve, NeoTimber’s Chocolate composite balustrade post is a straight forward to install, hybrid post solution designed to be secured onto either decking or a solid concrete base. The additional height of the post system allows the same product, when cut, to be installed on both a straight and stair application. Each post comes complete with a steel insert, as well as a premium capped composite sleeve that sits over the insert. A black aluminium post cap and skirt is also included for a smart finish. The product comes with fixings that allow you to easily secure the balustrades onto a deck. Colour-matched to NeoTimber’s capped composite deck boards, the Chocolate composite balustrade posts are designed to offer a secure, contemporary feel to your space. Please note that this product includes the post set only and does not include the rail set. The Chocolate railing set can be purchased separately here.
