A Classic Square Top Wood Baluster starts with a square base, progresses to a stretched convex quarter, a straight post, a stepped reed detail, another straight post, an ovolo, and culminates in a square top. Crafted from wood, it delivers structural support and an engaging aesthetic. The blend of these various shapes adds visual diversity and rhythm to the design. This baluster style embodies a fusion of architectural detailing and traditional elegance, making it a versatile choice for various interior designs, from classic to modern.
Square Top Classic Balusters have a width and depth of 1.75” (4.4 cm) with an upper top length of 6.5” (16.5 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).
