BALUSTER
- also known as “spindles”, these are the decorative vertical
pieces connecting the handrail to the treads, creating a strong and
safe balustrade. Minimum building codes mandate that there not be
more than 4” between balusters preventing a child from getting
his/her head stuck between the balusters. A 4” diameter ball
or sphere is used by stair builders and code enforcement officers
to verify this requirement. Please check with your local code enforcement
officer for the specific building code requirements in your area. |
