Hollow Iron Balusters
Balusters that are hollow weigh less than solid iron balusters. Because the inside of these balusters are hollowed out, shipping and transporting them is easier.

Knuckle Iron Balusters
Knuckle balusters have a decorative piece that look like a little a knuckle. This piece is actually adjustable, so you can move the knuckle up and down on the baluster, wherever you think it looks best.

The Ribbon Balusters resemble the Twist Balusters except the twisted part is wider, just like a ribbon. These are an elegant upgrade to the more common twist or basket iron balusters.

Iron Baluster Accessories and Installation Tools
We carry a full line of iron baluster accessories and installation tools to make the balusters look more complete and installation a snap. We carry flat shoes for the bottom of the baluster where the it meets the tread as well as pitch shoes (sometimes called "rake shoes") for where the iron baluster meets the handrail. We also carry the tools often used for installation of iron balusters. The dispenser gun applies epoxy in holes drilled into the tread and handrail to secure each iron baluster in place.
