Iron balusters are the vertical infill members that run between a stair's treads or shoe rail and the handrail, filling the space in a balustrade and carrying the guard's infill loads back into the rail and stringer. This one is a plain round bar pattern with a matte black finish, sized to suit typical stair and balcony rail heights.

Round iron balusters are normally installed by drilling the tread or shoe rail and the underside of the handrail, dropping the baluster into the lower hole and setting it into the upper, then securing it with epoxy or a set screw and covering the lower hole with a shoe collar or plug. Because the stock is solid-feeling round bar rather than turned wood, it can be trimmed to length on site with an abrasive cut-off wheel and touched up with matching black paint.

The black finish pairs with stained oak, maple or poplar rail components as well as with painted newels and shoe rails, and mixes readily with decorative twist, basket and scroll balusters from the same round-bar family.

Key Features

• Black finish for a low-sheen, non-reflective appearance that pairs with both stained and painted rail parts
• Round bar iron profile that sits inside standard drilled tread and handrail holes
• Installs with epoxy or set screws, with shoe collars or plugs concealing the tread penetration
• Can be cut to length on site to follow a rake or accommodate varying rail heights
• Slim vertical infill keeps sight lines more open than turned wood balusters of comparable spacing
• Sold by the piece so baluster counts can be matched to the layout and required spacing

Applications

• Interior stair balustrades over treads or on a shoe rail
• Balcony and landing guardrail infill
• Replacing wood balusters in a remodel while reusing existing newels and handrail
• Mixing with decorative twist, basket or scroll balusters in a patterned run
• Knee walls and half-wall rail systems using a shoe rail
