A baluster is a molded shaft or lathe-turned form that can be made from wood, stone or metal. They are usually used as supports for a railing that lines a staircase but could also be used as a leg for furniture.
balusters are the supports to the hand rail in stairs while a balustrade/banister include the handrail and balusters in stairs.
OSHA does not have a specific standard for the spacing of balusters.
Besides the obvious (as targets in the sport of bowling), wooden bowling pins have been used for such things as making the bases of lamps, as balusters in a balustrade, and by the police et. al. for target shooting practice.
A baluster, also referred to as a spindle, is part of a staircase that is made of wood, metal or stone. It supports the handrail of the staircase or porch rail. It can also be used as part of the architecture of the structure, meaning that it can be twisted, rounded, turned, shaped to match the look of the structure. Balusters can also be used in furniture, such as chair or table legs. Balusters can also supply the added safety when used in a staircase or porch to keep small children, for example, from squeezing through the rails.
Pervasive means spread throughout, or in everything, and a motif is a decorative element or pattern. A pervasive motif is one that is used in many things. An example in architecture is the flower motif of Charles Rennie Mackintosh that he used in windows, furniture, wall panels, balusters, wrought iron etc. throughout some of his buildings.
Newel posts are used at each end of stair balustrading with spindles or balusters along the length supporting the handrail.
The quotes that I have seen tend to run around $25.00 per baluster for a professional to remove your existing baluster and replace it with a metal one.
