Foundation Iron Balusters with Built-In Base

The Foundation series is a patented iron baluster system from House of Forgings, featuring a unique, all-in-one construction. Each baluster is crafted from a single piece of 1/2-inch square hollow tubing that flares at the bottom to form a seamless, 1-inch square built-in base. This one-piece design provides a clean, monolithic appearance, eliminating the need for a separate decorative base shoe. At the bottom of the base is a 1/2-inch pin, designed for a straightforward installation into a drilled hole in the floor surface, typically secured with epoxy. The hollow construction makes these 44-inch tall balusters lightweight and easy to handle.

Important Installation Note: Due to the flat, 90-degree construction of the built-in base, the Foundation series balusters are designed for flat surface installation only. They are the perfect solution for level runs on landings, balconies, and level portions of a handrail run. They cannot be installed on the angled (rake) portion of a staircase, as the base will not sit flush with the angled tread. We stock this innovative, code-compliant baluster system as an economical and stylish solution for your level balustrade sections, with all components in stock and ready for fast shipping. Please ensure you select a different, compatible baluster for the angled portions of your stairs.
