Top five benefits
Versatile and functional, cover and capping strips are often forgotten finishing touches that can enhance the quality and appearance of any project. Whether you’re fitting new flooring, or building furniture and installing shelving, these simple strips offer a range of benefits that can make a big difference in both longevity and aesthetics.
Still need convincing? Here are the top five reasons why adding cover and capping strips is a smart choice for your home...
- Protection
Cover and capping strips provide a layer of protection for the edges of surfaces, which are often the first areas to show signs of wear and tear throughout your home. By covering exposed edges, these strips help to guard against chips, splinters, and other forms of deterioration that occur over time. This makes them especially useful for high-traffic areas like doorways and stairs. - Seamless finish
Even the most well-executed projects can benefit from a finishing touch that hides any exposed edges. Capping strips provide a polished look, seamlessly blending edges with the rest of your project. They can cover gaps, uneven edges, or minor imperfections, giving your work a professional finish. At Weatherbar, we offer cover and capping strips in various hardwoods which can be perfectly matched to your project’s aesthetic, ensuring a cohesive look. - Safety first
Sharp edges on surfaces can pose a safety risk, especially in households with children. Capping strips create a smoother transition, reducing the risk of cuts or scrapes. They’re especially helpful for finishing areas like stairs or window ledges. - Easy as 1, 2, 3
One of the best things about cover and capping strips is how easy they are to install. Most strips can be cut to size and affixed with basic adhesive or nails, making them a straightforward addition to a project. Even for beginners, installing these strips is a manageable task that doesn’t require advanced skills or specialised tools. - Versatile and compatible
Cover and capping strips are incredibly versatile and can be used in a wide variety of projects, from flooring transitions to stair finishes. At Weatherbar, we offer a range of options in durable, sustainably and ethically sourced hardwoods, allowing you to choose the best fit for your project. This versatility ensures that no matter the project, there’s a capping or cover strip that can provide a stylish, protective finish to suit your home.
