Replacing Wood With Hollow Iron Balusters? Baljak Keeps It Simple!

Designed to install 1/2" hollow iron balusters, the Baljak anchor simplifies installation: no shimming or scratched caps. Baljak applies to open-tread and knee wall applications, on both rakes and balconies and requires just a drill with a 5/16" driver and construction adhesive.

QwikTreads - For A Fast Quality Install

• 12-1/2" deep, 6-ply solid core treads for ample trimming and for superior stability.

Iron Baluster Measurement Protocol

With options such as scrolls, baskets, knuckles, and ribbons available, iron balusters have required some serious math to ensure no alignment and aesthetic problems when installed. So Ascension Stair Parts^® developed a solution: The Iron Baluster Measurement Protocol. Now you can combine decorative options across a variety of styles and always be assured a perfect alignment at the top, centerpoint and bottom...without having to break out the calculator.

Iron Baluster Sub Shoes & Wood Baluster EZ Pins

Iron Baluster Sub Shoes (SUBSH900) are perfect when replacing wood balusters with 1/2" square iron balusters. When removed, a wood baluster typically leaves an unfinished spot on the floor. Simply screw the 2" square sub shoe into the floor over that spot, apply adhesive to the "cup" and, when installing iron balusters, seat your iron shoe into the sub shoe. Sub shoes are stocked in Satin Black, Rubbed Copper, Rubbed Bronze and Antique Nickel.

EZ Pins convert any no-pin wood baluster into one with a pin. Simply drill a 1/4" hole in the base of the baluster, then add wood glue to the thinner section of EZ Pin and tap into place.
