What are newel posts, and do I need one for my staircase?
Newel posts are the larger, structural supports at the beginning, end, or turning point of a staircase railing. They anchor the handrail and provide stability to the entire railing system. Most staircases require at least one newel post. We offer a variety of styles and sizes to match your balusters and architectural design.
How do I choose between turned and square wood balusters?
The choice depends on the style of your project. Turned balusters are great for traditional, decorative, or historic interiors and exteriors. Square balusters work well in more modern or Craftsman-style homes. We can also match existing profiles or help you design a custom option to suit your needs.
