Description
Description

A Rectangle Baluster is a type of stairway support, characterized by a single top and bottom bar linked by a central rectangle. Crafted from materials such as wood or metal, it offers structural stability and unique visual appeal. The central rectangle lends geometric intrigue, breaking the linearity and offering a modern edge to the minimalist design. The result is a baluster that combines contemporary aesthetics with functional simplicity, perfectly suited to various architectural and interior design styles.

Dimensions & Sizes
Dimensions & Sizes

Rectangle Balusters have an overall width of 4” (10.2 cm), depth of .5” (1.3 cm), and rectangle placement at 8” (20.3 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).

Balusters, often referred to as spindles, are slender vertical members used to support the handrails of staircases and to form a protective barrier along balconies or decks. They are typically arranged in a series and spaced evenly to create a balustrade.
