Specifications
Also called Urethane Balusters. Actual Width: 2 1/2″. Specify length. Recommended On Center spacing is 5 1/2″. Urethane balusters are reinforced with an internal PVC pipe for strength and rigidity. Cut our Poly spindles using normal woodworking techniques. Use with 3 5/8″ Poly Rail System OR the 4 1/2″ Poly Rail System.
What height of urethane baluster do I need?
Using our 3 5/8″ Top and Bottom Rails with a 2″ to 4″ toe space, the following rail heights will result:
20″ Spindle: 28 1/8″ – 30 1/8″
24″ Spindle: 32 1/8″ – 34 1/8″
28″ Spindle: 36 1/8″ – 38 1/8″ (commonly used to meet residential codes)
30″ Spindle: 38 1/8″ – 40 1/8″
32″ Spindle: 40 1/8″ – 42 1/8″ (commonly used to meet commercial codes)
34″ Spindle: 42 1/8″ – 44 1/8″ (commonly used on stair rails. Has the same turning length as the 28″ Spindle)
36″ Spindle: 44 1/8″ – 48 1/8″
How many balusters do I need?
Take the length of your rail (in inches) and divide by 5 1/2″
Example: 10′ of rail, which is 120″. Take 120 divided by 5.5 = 22 needed.
The height of the turned portion on this baluster varies according to total height. Only the 28″ and 34″ baluster have the same turning length. So if you’re using a longer baluster for stairs, for example, only the 28″ and 34″ should be used together.
16″ Baluster: 11 1/4″ turning
20″ Baluster: 14 3/8″ turning
24″ Baluster: 15 5/8″ turning
28″ Baluster: 20″ turning
30″ Baluster: 17 1/8″ turning
32″ Baluster: 21 3/4″ turning
34″ Baluster: 20″ turning
36″ Baluster: 24″ turning
