Description

A Utah Square Top Wood Baluster begins with a square base, features a scotia, a torus, a stretched torus, an astragal, a stretched ogee, another astragal, and culminates in a square stop. Crafted from wood, it ensures structural solidity and a distinct aesthetic. The progression of shapes from the square base to the square stop introduces a compelling visual rhythm, enriching the overall design. This style of baluster is an elegant fusion of traditional and geometric elements, making it a versatile choice for a wide array of architectural and interior styles.

Dimensions & Sizes

Square Top Utah Balusters have a width and depth of 1.75” (4.4 cm) with an upper top length of 6.25” (15.9 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).
