A Colonial Pin Top Wood Baluster is a type of stairway support starting with a square base, transitioning into a small ogee shape with an astragal, and culminating in a tapered pin top. Crafted from wood, it ensures structural stability and a distinct, classic aesthetic. The transition from the square base through the curved ogee to the slender pin top adds a dynamic visual interest to the design. This style of baluster combines traditional elegance and minimalistic appeal, suitable for various architectural and interior styles.
Pin Top Colonial Balusters have a width and depth of 1.25” (3.2 cm). 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).
