Description

A Hampton Pin Top Wood Baluster is a stairway support that starts with a square base, features a scotia, a neck, another scotia, a stretched ogee, an astragal, a third scotia, and ends with a pin top. Made from wood, it ensures robust structural support and a distinct aesthetic. The series of shapes, transitioning from the square base to the slender pin top, adds a captivating visual rhythm. This baluster style is an elegant fusion of traditional elements and geometric diversity, making it suitable for a range of interior designs.

Dimensions & Sizes
Dimensions & Sizes

Pin Top Hampton 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).
