Caprail - Caprail Ends - Steel Railing Brackets

A caprail is a smooth, decorative steel cover that slips over the top of a steel tube or flat bar handrail, providing a finished, comfortable gripping surface and a polished appearance. It transforms a utilitarian structural rail into a finished railing top.

Caprail ends are pressed steel finishing pieces that cap the open ends of the caprail at the terminal points of the railing — typically at a wall, post, or starting newel. They provide a clean, closed end that matches the profile of the caprail and prevents the cut end from being visible or creating a sharp edge hazard.

Caprail is slide-fit over the structural top rail and then welded in place, typically with a continuous or intermittent weld along the inside edge. After welding and grinding, the result is a smooth, seamless top rail.

Yes. Caprail is cut to length on site and welded over the structural rail at the angle required for the stair run or level section. The molded profile provides a comfortable handhold on both stair and level applications.
