Balusters are vertical, horizontal, angled, or curved supports underneath a handrail. Balusters are important because they prevent people and items from falling under the handrail. Additionally, a properly designed baluster section prevents children from getting their heads and hands stuck in a stairway. There are various materials and styles to choose from when selecting your baluster system. We offer an array of spindles, panels, horizontal bars, glass , and and cable baluster options. Balusters are sometimes called pickets, handrail safety bars, spindles, or handrail infill.
Baluster Panels
Our baluster panels are made-to-measure and can be designed to fit an array of styles. A baluster panel is a sheet of wood, metal, or glass that sits under a handrail and stops people from slipping through. Take a look a this Chippendale style baluster panel designed by Rising Stairways:

Horizontal Balusters & Cable Railing
Cable railing and horizontal balusters can be grouped together due to their similar appearance and sometimes interchangeable styles. We recommend speaking with one of our staircase experts to make the right decision between these two great options.
