Product Description

The 5015 wood stair baluster is the most popular baluster in North America. This stair part is in the colonial family and is easily used in any style of home. It is a pin top baluster that should be drilled into the handrail. This baluster is an economy product. The design and ease of turning makes this an affordable product to install in a banister. If you need a simple baluster for your stairway, this is a good choice. You can have this product produced as a painted baluster or in an exotic wood such as Brazilian Cherry or Mahogany. It is also available as a domestic wood such as Ash or Oak.

StairSuppliesTM offers balusters in two styles, Contemporary and Traditional. What varies between these two styles is the turning and block length, see below for details (click on images to the left to see examples):

Contemporary:
The turning on these balusters remains the same no matter the length. The additional length will be added to the bottom block. This makes the turnings on the balusters match the slope of your handrail.

Traditional:
The bottom block on these balusters remains the same, no matter the length. What varies is the turning length. This makes for a more staggered look, as the turning begins at the same point on all balusters on each step.

Wood Grain & Color Variation

At StairSuppliesTM we strive to match the grain and color of all of our wood products as closely as possible.

Hi Jim,
The bottom block on these balusters can vary depending on what style you choose. If you choose Traditional Series balusters, they will be 7″ long, regardless of the height of the baluster. If you choose Contemporary Series balusters the bottom block will range from 7″ to 13″.
Let us know if you have additional questions.

This baluster is 1 1/4″ x 1 1/4″. It tapers down to around 5/8″ at the very top.

What is the difference between a 5015-34 baluster & a 8134 baluster and how can I identify which type I already have?

Guest

The 5015 and 8134 style of baluster has a very similar profile. When you see a 5015-34, it is typically referring to the overall height of the baluster. We would suggest that you send us a photo of the baluster you are trying to match to orders@stairsupplies.com.

I am replacing a broken baluster and mine has a 3/4″ round projection on the bottom. Does yours have the same thing? Also, is there a way to see the different stain colors before ordering the finish I want?

Hi Jennifer,

The bottom of the 5015 Wood Baluster does not have a round projection. If you’re interested in looking at stain options, we have them available to view online, or feel free to order a sample.

I need to replace two out of many others, so I need an exact match.
They are a 5015 type, with an LOA of 34″. The bottom block has to match exactly with the others.
On these, the turning starts at 7 3/8″ from the block bottom (which has a 3/4″ button on the bottom also) measured at the block edge. Measured in the center of a side, the turning starts 7 3/4″ from the block bottom. Does this match your dimensions? Also, I would prefer a bottom button to assist in installation.

Steve, thanks for the question.

I got the exact dimensions from one of our engineers 5015 Wood Baluster Dimensions. It does not have a bottom button.

I hope this answers your question.

Which wood type is best for painting white? My traditional type (7″ bottom) are 40 inches from the floor to the rail. Do you know if the pin is usually 2 inches deep into the rail? Thanks!

Thanks for the question Tom.

You’ll see a “paint grade” option when selecting wood species – that would be the best for painting white. As for the pin, 2 inches is deeper than we would normally recommend, but you could always cut the baluster to the right size.
