Interior Wood Balusters: Designed Smarter
Some elements in a home do more than they’re given credit for. Interior wood balusters fall into that category.
The right baluster doesn’t just hold up your handrail. It sets the tone for your staircase and the flow of your space. If you’re renovating a historic entryway, finishing a custom build, or completing another type of project, balusters deserve more than a generic option.
Custom Paint-Grade Wood Stair Balusters for Interior Projects
Custom wood balusters in paint-grade finish, crafted for interior stair and railing systems.
Why These Details Matter
A staircase is one of the few architectural features you interact with physically every single day.
Material, shape, and finish are important. Wood balusters for interior use give you a level of customization you can’t fake with metal or prefab vinyl. Choose a profile that suits your space, whether it be tapered and traditional, square and minimal, or something that alludes to both.
Paint Grade or Stain Grade?
If you’re going with a painted finish, you’re probably using poplar. It’s smooth, it holds paint evenly, and it sands well.
Staining? Now we’re talking about oak, maple, cherry, or walnut. These wood species have enough grain personality to carry the space without going overboard.
Either way, every baluster we produce is turned or milled to spec, then sanded for a surface that’s ready for whatever finish you choose.
Which Species Should You Choose?
Here’s a short list of options to consider:
- Poplar (a go-to for paint)
- Oak (classic and reliable)
- Cherry (warm and smooth)
- Maple (bright and dense)
- Walnut (rich and bold)
- Mahogany & Sapele (for depth)
- Pine, Cedar, Cypress (budget-conscious/stylistic flexibility)
Interior use gives you freedom with no UV or moisture concerns. Pick based on tone, weight, and the vibe you’re going for.
We specialize in interior wood balusters, but that’s just the entry point. If you’re planning something bigger, such as a multi-unit residential, commercial, or historical restoration, we do that, too. Need outdoor-rated? We’ve got those. Matching newels or railing components? We can build them.
