List of featured suppliers of BALUSTERS Purpose Made on Building Products Index
Balusters made of cast stone or reconstructed stone are architectural features commonly seen in buildings and structures. They are typically slender pillars or columns that serve as a decorative railing system along staircases, balconies, and terraces. Cast stone balusters are manufactured by pouring a mixture of cement, fine aggregates, and pigments into molds. The molds are then vibrated to remove air pockets and cured for several days before being removed. Once cured, the balusters resemble natural stone but are more lightweight and versatile. They are frequently used in historical preservation projects or as a cost-effective alternative to natural stone balusters.
