Timber balusters: slat, square, turned and motif
Published
A baluster is the upright between the rails of a balustrade. Slat and square profiles have straighter lines. Turned profiles add a rounded shape, and motif designs add a decorative pattern.
If you are repairing a panel, bring in an intact sample or take front and side photos beside a ruler. Measure the overall length and the width where the baluster meets each rail.
For a new run, choose the baluster and handrail together. Ask your installer to confirm the spacing, fixing and finished layout for your site.
