Turned Wood Balusters

Balusters, spindle, columns, or stair sticks – whatever you like to call them – can make your staircases look more elegant. Sure, most balusters nowadays are made from metal or stone with eccentric patterns, but nothing can beat the exquisiteness of expertly-crafted turned wooden balusters!

Balusters add more grandeur to staircases. In Sacramento, iStairs provide custom stairs and parts that can top off the staircase you already have at home! As a stair company that has been on business for years in Sacramento, we can provide just about any baluster profile, including the famous turned wood baluster!

Wooden Balusters, unlike steel and ceramic ones, can be easily fashioned which means that it is easier for artists to craft wonders for the surroundings of your staircase.

Wooden balusters come in different designs like rope twist, barley twist, hollow twist, fluted, reeded, tapered, octagonal, square, straight tapered, round, and many more. If the style you aspire is in our gallery, then we will twist, turn, and carve to your satisfaction. The iStairs Sacramento Stair Company will work with you to make your wooden baluster design a reality.

As a Sacramento stairs provider, we know the importance of supplying quality staircases and parts; you can trust us with all your staircase needs – baluster, threads, and all. But if you already have a staircase, and you just want to make it more attractive, then we will make certain to compliment your already beautifully made staircase with a striking balustrade, resulting in a beautiful set of steps that will make your house a visual delight!

We will also make sure that your turned wooden balusters will last for a long time with little maintenance. If you want to make sure that your entire staircase project is in the right hands, contact the best Sacramento stair company, iStairs, for all your staircase needs!

About Spiral Stairs

Spiral stairs were made famous during medieval times, and were great additions to castles in the Middle Ages. Nowadays, you can spot these medieval relics on homes and public buildings, but what is a spiral staircase anyway?

Spiral stairs are a type of stairway that winds around a newel, or commonly known as a central pole. Spiral stairways do not take up much space due to its form, and are mostly used in homes with limited spaces. They are also visually appealing due to the innovations brought about by technology—making it possible to have your own spiral staircase with the material of your choosing.

In medieval times, spiral stairs were made out of stone, and were rounded up in a clockwise direction in the viewpoint of the ascender. Nowadays, spiral staircases are made with wood and metal balusters. Here at iStairs, we offer custom built wood spiral stair kits and a wide range of baluster materials to select from.
