Description

A Single Ring Baluster is a stairway support featuring a single circular element at the center, typically paired with vertical bars in balustrades. Crafted from materials like wood or metal, it offers structural stability while introducing a unique aesthetic. The solitary ring provides a point of visual interest, breaking the linearity and enhancing the design's dynamic quality. This baluster style embodies a balance between minimalist elegance and geometric interest, making it an appealing choice for a wide range of interior designs.

Dimensions & Sizes
Dimensions & Sizes

Single Ring Balusters have an overall width of 4” (10.2 cm), depth of .5” (1.3 cm), and ring placement at 16” (40.6 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).
