wrought iron handrailing
Metal stairs can be anything from a simple fabricated steel spiral stair ordered from a catalog to a custom-cast bronze stair created for a hotel or state capitol. And the list of suppliers accompanying this Report encompasses that full range of capabilities.
STAIR SHAPE & STYLE: The shape of the stair you specify -- spiral, straight or curved -- is usually determined by the geometry of the space into which it must fit. Sometimes, a curved stair is specified, despite its higher cost -- because of the sweep and grandeur it imparts to a space. The style of the stair, however, is dictated by the rest of the interior architecture and is determined primarily by the design of the balustrade you call for and the material of which it's made. For example, curving, delicate acanthus leaves create a sophisticated classic European feel, while roughly hand-hammered copper might be used in an Arts & Crafts environment.
THE HAND RAIL -- A CRITICAL COMPONENT: On many stairs, the handrail is the most visible and important element, both from the way a stair LOOKS and the way it FEELS. The handrail thus deserves special attention from the designer, taking into account such factors as the basic cross-section profile, the width, and the depth. If the stairway is curved, the smoothness and regularity of the handrail curvature is critical. We've all seen curved handrails made by shops who were in over their heads -- which resulted in a rail with flat spots and/or abrupt changes in curvature.
METAL SPECIFICATION: Typically, you'll find metal stairs made from mild steel (bear in mind that "wrought iron" today is really just mild steel), cast iron, cast aluminum, bronze, and sometimes stainless steel. Besides appearance and initial cost, your choice has to also bear in mind the different patinas and/or metal coatings that each metal (except stainless steel) may require -- because the finish is an important element of style. Wrought iron, for example, can take paint, wax, or a chemical patina.

balusters Creating a classic look, our decorative balustrades, newel posts, newel caps and railing systems will accent the architectural details of any project. A baluster system is comprised of top and bottom baluster railings, which provide structure, while newel posts provide stability and will enhance the beauty of any staircase, deck, or patio. Baluster system accessories such as newel caps, balls, and finials will complete your project. We recommend thicker balusters to create a more classic, traditional, regal or colonial design. Thinner balusters or pickets will provide a more graceful ambiance for a more contemporary look. Baluster systems provide grandeur and define porches, decks, entranceways, verandas, terraces, lanais, and balconies. These magnificent balusters provide an essential piece of architectural beauty to emphasize your residential or commercial project. They will create a timeless, classic look that sets you apart from everyone else and tells the world something about you.
Choose from a wide selection of balusters, newel posts and caps, railings and accessories to create the environment you deserve. We have contemporary, classic, and more ornate, Italian-inspired designs. Our traditional balusters and balustrade railing systems are made of high-density polymer materials and cast around aluminum or PVC pipes in baluster. Installation is made easy with our Installation Kits
balustrade is made up of Newel Posts, Top or Hand Rails, Bottom Rails and the Balusters. Whether interior or exterior, it is the balusters that make up the visual bulk of the Balastrade assembly. Balusters can be divided into three main categories, Turned, Fret Sawn, and Paperdoll.
(At right): With the paper doll (or flat sawn) baluster, the pattern that is picked up by the eye are the negative spaces between the balusters. The balusters themselves are flat and fit into a groove cut into the hand rail and the bottom rail. (Below): Two sets of wood balusters made by the Blue Ox Millworks. The balustrade on the left is found at the Bauriedel home, a new custom Victorian that was featured in the August 2005 edition of Victorian Homes Magazine.
If you're after a look that's unique and different, then perhaps our range of Metal Balusters and Panels as demonstrated here with the Classic metal panel surrounded by twist and contemporary leaf balusters, is right for you. Made from galvanised steel and pre-finished in a beautiful Antique Bronze hammered paint finish which looks great against garden foliage, this range complements gardens which are traditional or contemporary in style.

Salter's commitment to quality is evident in the details and craftsmanship of our solid wood spiral stairs. With a full architectural wood working facility in-house, we have the versatility to produce stairs in a variety of wood species including oak, maple, cherry, and mahogany with additional species available upon request. This is part of our commitment to making sure we provide the best possible spiral stair in the industry.
The significance of Salter's solid wood stair design is our unique tread attachment to a 5" round, solid wood center column. With hardened steel fasteners that are imbedded into each wood tread, we have created a solid connection to the center column. Another substantial design characteristic is that each primary baluster is connected to two treads, providing additional strength. We achieve this by recessing the baluster into the corners of the tread, which creates a smooth fit. The outside edge of the tread is enclosed preventing the tread from cupping, which stiffens the connection and provides graceful curves.
The woodturning company Barley Wood Ltd is based on the outskirts of Hastings and was formed several years ago by Michael Dean in partnership with Mark Pryor.
At Barley Wood we can turn large columns to small jewellery pots: copy your own spindles or build a complete staircase from our existing range. Please ask: If it can be turned on a lathe, we can make it !
