Description
The Azek Island Post Cap is available in sizes to fit a variety of 4x4, 5x5, and 6x6 posts. Made of polymer PVC that resists scratches, stains, mildew, insect and moisture damage. The Azek Island is a popular style offering a layered flat top design with squared edges. Slips over the top of your post for easy DIY installation.
Our Azek post caps are cut and milled from 100% real Azek boards and are available to fit a variety of post sizes, including custom sizes. These caps are not copies so will not have the same dimensions as authentic Azek post caps.
*Must be painted: Our caps do not have the same finished surface as authentic Azek post caps so the texture of the bare material can look rough. With just one coat of latex paint, the texture will return to a smooth, shiny finish. Painting also helps to seal the exposed cells and unlike painted wood, the paint finish should last for many years.
Available Sizes: The Azek Island post cap is fabricated to fit a variety of post and post sleeves measuring 3.5” to 6.5” square. See actual product measurements and how to order the correct size in the "Product Dimensions" section below.

Product Care
Our Azek caps are cut and milled from 100% Azek boards and must be painted prior to being installed or they will discolor and void the warranty.
The following is recommended:
-
Cut Azek boards do not have a finished surface and that leaves the material subject to dirt, smudges, mold, and mildew.
-
Properly prepared and painted with even brush strokes gives it the appearance of finely painted wood.
-
A properly painted finish will last for years, protecting the substrate from mold, mildew, and UV rays.
-
Surfaces must be clean, dry, and void of any foreign material such as dirt, oil, grease, or other contaminants that may come from normal handling, storage, and/or installation prior to painting.
-
Use 100% acrylic latex paint with colors having a Light Reflective Value (LRV) of 55 or higher.
