Many people love that traditional look of wood on their stairways. It is beautiful all right. However, have you ever thought of keeping the same traditional look but slightly changing it with a more polished, more modern and a highly styled look? You can make your wood stairway look and feel completely different today by using baluster connectors.

Balusters come in different forms and shapes. For lack of a better word to describe balusters, let us just call them legs or vertical pillars that support a rail on a stairway.  So in short, balusters are pillars made out of either wood, stone, metal or other known materials. The shape and styles of balusters also vary from home to home and from architect to architect. Some are smooth, others have beautiful and ornamental carvings and yet others have special designs.

The places that use balusters most are the stairways and decks. These are sensitive areas especially if you have small kids. The balusters have to be strong enough to withstand any pressure from anything and the spaces between them to be as minimal as possible. If they are in anyway loose, you know that is an accident waiting to happen. To avoid any unforeseen accidents, the balusters have to fit tightly and firmly into the rails by using glue, nails, or other materials.

Now there is another way of ensuring the balusters stay safely and tightly in place while adding beauty to them without using the traditional methods of connecting them to the rails. This is by using baluster connectors.

Baluster connectors allow the safe securing of balusters to the rails without the need to use glue or other tools like nails, the traditional screws and so on. The baluster connectors give a very tidy, neat and clean finish as compared to anything else. They come in different shapes, makes, styles and colors. No drilling the rails is necessary when using baluster connectors as they come with their own screws and they fit the ends of the balusters well.
