Horizontal iron balusters create a clean, linear, and highly modern balustrade infill. CRITICAL NOTE: Horizontal railing installations are subject to strict building code requirements to prevent a potential “ladder effect.” Spacing between bars is the most critical factor for a safe and compliant installation. You must consult our “Horizontal Bar Spacing Guide” and verify all requirements with your local building code official before ordering or beginning installation. These balusters are hollow metal tubes, which are lightweight and easy to handle in the long lengths required. We offer them in both 1/2-inch and 5/8-inch round profiles, with material options including raw stainless steel and various powder-coated finishes to suit your design.

These horizontal balusters are designed to run continuously between support posts, either by passing through drilled holes in the posts or by attaching with specialized mounting hardware. They are available in several standard lengths, including 5 ft, 6 ft, 7.5 ft, and 8 ft, allowing you to minimize waste for different section lengths (note that not all profile and finish variations are available in all lengths). Creating a modern horizontal railing requires careful planning and the correct components. We stock these exclusive House of Forgings balusters to provide a high-quality, architectural solution for your modern stair project, ready for fast shipping. Please review the spacing guide to ensure you order the correct number of balusters for a safe and code-compliant installation.
