Wooden Baluster Systems: Safety and Tradition

Committed to safety and tradition, wooden baluster systems are a sure way to elevate the appearance of one’s home. This is because they are a versatile choice, with numerous options for customization. Different wood species can be designed to blend seamlessly together in various stair parts.

By definition, a baluster (or spindle) is a molded shaft or square that has been derived from a rectangular or square plank. It supports the handrail of a staircase, and when classified as a group, balusters are called balustrades. When placed side by side, balusters are generally separated by the same measurement as the size of the square bottom section. As one can imagine, the distance between balusters is a critical element, not only for aesthetic appeal, but also for safety and strength. Homeowners, commercial builders, and/or architects must consider which wood products will stand the test of time, and this depends greatly on the location of a staircase.
