Selecting Style, Size and Options
Sizing and Components of Sawn Balusters
• Durabrac® Sawn Balusters come in three standard heights (23.5”, 27” and 31.5”).
• Custom designs and lengths are available.
• While prices may seem to vary greatly, Durabrac® Balusters cost roughly the same per linear foot. Because of
the variation in design thicknesses, on average you need less of the higher-priced balusters, but more of the
lower-priced balusters to cover the same distance.
• Adding the Cap Rails will add 1-1/2” to the height.
• Tee railing adds 3-1/2” at the top and 3-1/2” at the bottom for 7” total.
• As an assembly, the 23-1/2” balusters can reach a 36” railing height when allowing for a 4” space under the
bottom rail. The 31-1/2” height can reach over 42” with just 3” of space between the bottom rail and the
porch surface.
• If you have or obtain your own railing, your height will adjust according to the height of that railing.
The Individual Components
Balusters
Our balusters are accurately cut from one inch vinyl material. The top and bottom edges are square. If you have need for special notching to match your railing contact us to arrange for this service.
Cap Rail
The Cap Rail includes an adapter rail. When you order our complete railing system the adapter rail is prein- stalled.
Top T-Rail, Bottom Rail and Attaching Brackets We use a commercial grade system that is good looking, installs easy and provides a high level of safety.
Newel Post and Cap
If you need railing longer than 84 inches you should consider adding a newel post in the middle of the span. Our newel posts have a steel core that rise up inside the 4 inch outer shell. The steel core bolts solidly to wood or con- crete. The newel post comes with added internal, plastic material for the railing bracket installation screws to have something solid to attach to. A decorative cap and base is included.
