With our extensive selection and design guidance, finding the ideal spindles to complement your staircase aesthetic is both simple and satisfying.
Balusters, spindles, and shoes are components commonly used in railings to provide structural support, enhance safety, and add decorative elements. Let's take a look at each of these components:
- Balusters: Balusters are vertical posts that help support the handrail of a railing system. They are typically spaced evenly along the length of the railing to prevent people from falling through or getting trapped between them. Balusters can be made from various materials such as wood and metal. They come in a wide range of designs, from simple and straightforward to intricately detailed, allowing for customization to match the style of the surrounding architecture.
- Spindles: Spindles are similar to balusters and serve the same purpose of supporting the handrail. The term "spindle" is often used interchangeably with "baluster." However, some people differentiate them based on their shape or design. Spindles are typically slender and cylindrical, while balusters can have different shapes, such as square or turned. Ultimately, the choice between balusters and spindles depends on personal preference and the desired aesthetic for the railing.
- Shoes: In railing systems, shoes (also known as base shoes or shoe brackets) are used to connect the balusters or spindles to the lower railing or the floor. They provide stability and support, preventing the balusters or spindles from wobbling or shifting. Shoes are typically made of metal and come in various styles and finishes to complement the overall design of the railing.
When selecting balusters, spindles, and shoes for your railing project, consider the following factors:
- Material: Choose a material that suits your preferences in terms of aesthetics, durability, and maintenance requirements. Popular choices include wood, wrought iron and stainless steel.
- Design and style: Consider the overall design and style of the railing system and the surrounding architecture. Balusters, spindles, and shoes are available in a wide range of designs, from traditional to contemporary, allowing you to achieve the desired look.
