An Oval Split Baluster is a stairway support that starts as a single vertical bar at the base, then branches into an oval form extending upwards. Crafted from wood or metal, it combines structural soundness with aesthetic appeal. The split into an oval offers a sleek contrast to the linear design, imbuing it with a unique charm. This design achieves a harmonious blend of simplicity and sophistication, making it a perfect choice for those seeking a contemporary yet classic touch in their stairway aesthetics.
Split Oval Balusters have an overall width of 4” (10.2 cm) and depth of .5” (1.3 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).
