Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Mega Series different?
The Mega Series features a larger 3/4-inch square profile, creating a more substantial and dramatic appearance than standard iron balusters. It's an excellent choice for homeowners who want a staircase with greater visual impact.
Is a 3/4" baluster better than a 1/2" baluster?
Neither is better—they simply create different design styles. A 1/2" baluster offers a lighter, more understated appearance, while a 3/4" Mega Series baluster provides a bolder, more luxurious look that's especially well suited to larger homes and grand staircases.
Can I mix Plain and decorative balusters?
Absolutely. Many designers recommend using mostly Plain balusters with Twist or Basket designs spaced throughout the railing to create a balanced custom appearance.
What are flat and pitched shoes?
Flat shoes finish the connection where the baluster meets a level surface, while pitched shoes are designed for angled stair treads. Both provide a polished appearance and help conceal installation holes.
Will Black Satin go out of style?
Black Satin has remained one of the most popular stair railing finishes for years because of its versatility. It complements both light and dark wood species and pairs well with nearly every interior design style.
