An Oval Baluster of this design is a stairway support featuring a single top and bottom bar, connected by a central oval shape. Made from materials like wood or metal, it's structurally sound and visually striking. The central oval acts as a focal point, breaking the linear monotony, and bringing a touch of traditional elegance to the minimalist design. The result is a baluster that embodies a unique harmony between simplicity and sophistication, suitable for a variety of interior styles.
Oval Balusters have an overall width of 4” (10.2 cm), depth of .5” (1.3 cm), and oval placement at 8” (20.3 cm) from the hand rail. 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).
