Description

A Round Baluster is a stairway support with a circular cross-section profile, available in a range of sizes and crafted from materials like wood or steel. It ensures structural solidity while offering a traditional, timeless aesthetic. Its rounded profile provides a softer, fluid design element in contrast to more angular alternatives. This baluster style embodies the perfect blend of functional stability and classic elegance, making it a suitable choice for a wide variety of architectural and interior styles, from the traditional to the contemporary.

Dimensions & Sizes
Dimensions & Sizes

Round Balusters are commonly available with overall diameters between .625”-1.25” (1.6-3.2 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).
