Intex Column Wrap, Post Wrap and Newel

Installation Instructions

Column Wraps

1. Structural Post Preparation

a. Insure that structural post is sound, straight and plumb.

• Note that all Intex Column Wrap sizing is given as outside dimensions. See the table at the end of these

instructions for specific internal sizing information.

b. Attach ½” x 3” x 5” internal spacers to structural post as shown.

Locate spacers 4” up from bottom, 4” down from top and at center of

length. If railing will be attached to the Column, locate center

spacers at location of handrail.

c. For 10” and 12” column wraps

only, place the supplied ‘U’

shaped stand-offs around the

structural post and attach to

the internal spacers.

2. Column Wrap Installation

a. Cut both halves of Column Wrap to required height.

• Note for Columns Wraps with raised, recessed or fluted designs, cut only

the tops. This will allow the bottom of the design to remain at the same

height across all columns and newels (if used) on the facade. Maximum

amount of trim on these columns is 2 inches from standard height. If

required height is more than 2” shorter than standard height, custom size

and design spacing should be ordered.

b. Place one of the Column Wrap halves in place against the spacers (or stand-

offs) on one side of the structural post and attach with stainless steel finish

nails, placing nails where they will be hidden by the top and bottom trim wrap

whenever possible. If Column Wrap has a design such as recessed, raised

or fluted panels, insure correct orientation.

c. Apply the supplied adhesive liberally along both mitered edges of the Column

Wrap half which is installed, and place the other half in position.

d. Use the Velcro straps provided to keep the halves properly aligned, and

secure with stainless steel finish nails as with first half. Wipe off any excess

adhesive.
