Frequently Asked Questions

What are iron balusters?

Iron balusters are the vertical supports between the handrail and stair treads or floor. They provide safety while adding decorative style to a staircase.

What is the difference between the Basic Series and decorative balusters?

The Basic Series offers clean, timeless profiles that work with nearly any home style. Decorative options such as twists and baskets allow you to personalize your staircase while maintaining a coordinated look.

What is the Silver Black finish?

Silver Black is a durable finish with subtle metallic undertones that provides depth and sophistication without the high shine of polished finishes.
