Description

A Bunker Hill Square Top Wood Baluster is a stairway support starting with a square base, ascending into a stretched convex quarter, followed by a fillet and an astragal, and culminating in a square top. Crafted from wood, it provides robust support with a distinct aesthetic. The progression of shapes offers visual interest and rhythmic continuity. This style of baluster blends simplicity with complexity, making it an excellent choice for those seeking to add a touch of traditional elegance to their stairway design.

Dimensions & Sizes
Dimensions & Sizes

Square Top Bunker Hill Balusters have a width and depth of 1.75” (4.4 cm) with an upper top length of 7” (17.8 cm) from the handrail. Lengths of balusters vary depending on their placement in a balustrade, but are typically sized to match handrail heights of 34”-38” (86.4-96.5 cm).

The common standard is that the space should not allow a sphere of 4 inches (102 mm) in diameter to pass through - approximating the size of a toddler's head. The on-center spacing of thin balusters is typically 3.66” (9.3 cm) while wide balusters are spaced at 5.5” (14 cm).
