Twist & Basket Hollow Iron Balusters

The Twist and Basket series is one of the most popular and timeless styles for traditional iron staircases. This collection is engineered using high-grade, hollow steel tubing with a 1/2-inch square profile and a standard 44-inch height. The primary advantage of this hollow construction is its reduced weight, which makes the balusters easier to handle during installation and more cost-effective to ship. Cutting the balusters to size on-site is also significantly faster and easier than with solid iron. Despite being lightweight, these tubular balusters are designed to be just as strong as their solid counterparts, meeting all building code requirements for safety and durability.

The classic look of this balustrade is achieved by creating a repeating pattern of different elements. A typical installation might combine plain square bars with single twists, double twists, single baskets, and double baskets for a varied yet cohesive design. As a standard 1/2-inch square profile, these balusters install using common techniques and are compatible with our entire selection of base shoes for 1/2-inch balusters. Due to their ease of installation and classic appeal, hollow Twist & Basket balusters are a top choice for both professional builders and DIY homeowners. We stock the complete collection in a variety of powder-coated finishes, ready for fast shipping.
