What it is

Balusters fill the railing so people, especially children, cannot fall through. They can be steel, wood, glass panels or masonry.

Key points

  • Supports the handrail
  • Close spacing for child safety
  • Steel, wood, glass or concrete
  • Used on stairs, balconies and terraces

Why it matters

Gaps should be small enough that a child cannot slip through.

How Elamentt handles it

Stainless steel railings are in every package, with safe spacing.
