A Hampton Square Top Wood Baluster is a stairway support that starts with a square base, followed by a scotia, a neck, another scotia, a stretched ogee, an astragal, a third scotia, and culminates in a square top. Crafted from wood, it provides structural solidity and an appealing aesthetic. The progression of shapes from the square base to the square top adds rhythmic visual interest. This baluster style embodies an elegant blend of traditional design elements and geometric diversity, making it an excellent choice for various interior styles.
Square Top Hampton Balusters have a width and depth of 1.25” (3.2 cm) with an upper top length of 6.625” (16.8 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).
