Whether you’re a DIY homeowner or a seasoned contractor, this guide will walk you through installing wrought iron balusters in just a few hours, saving time and delivering professional results. Let’s get started!
Tools and Materials Needed:
• Wrought Iron Holders (one per baluster, patented by Townsend Legacy Inc.)
• Wrought iron balusters (choose your style and quantity based on staircase design)
• Measuring tape and pencil
• Reciprocating saw or jig saw (for removing old balusters)
• Drill with 1/2-inch and 3/4-inch spade bits
• Portaband saw or chop saw with metal cutting blade
• Pliers
• Level
• Drop cloth (to protect floors and furniture)
• Safety gear (gloves, goggles)
Step 1: Plan and Prepare Before you begin, plan your baluster layout to comply with local building codes (typically, no more than a 4-inch gap between balusters). Measure the number of balusters needed per stair tread and choose a design (e.g., plain, twisted, or scroll). Cover furniture and floors with a drop cloth to protect against sawdust. If replacing wooden balusters, use a reciprocating or jig saw to cut them in half, then wiggle them out with pliers to remove nails or dowels. Clean the area to ensure a smooth work surface.
Step 2: Measure and Cut Balusters Measure the distance from the top of the stair tread (or floor) to the bottom of the handrail at each baluster location. Add at least 1-3/4 inch to this measurement, if possible drill hole through subfloor to allow the baluster to slide into the tread or and then up into the handrail . Using a Portaband saw or chop saw with a metal cutting blade, cut each baluster to length from the bottom to maintain design alignment. For precision, double-check measurements, as variations in staircase height can occur.
Step 3: Drill Holes Using a 1/2 -inch spade bit, drill holes 3/4 to 1.25 inches deep into the underside of the handrail at marked baluster locations. For the tread or floor, use a 3/4-inch spade bit to drill holes through cap and subfloor. Ensure holes are aligned vertically using a level to prevent crooked balusters. The Wrought Iron Holder’s design accommodates these standard hole sizes, making setup a breeze. Test-fit a baluster to confirm the fit is snug but not overly tight.
Step 4: Install the Wrought Iron Holder Here’s where the magic happens! Slide the Wrought Iron Holder onto the bottom of each baluster. The holder’s precision centering mechanism ensures the baluster aligns perfectly in the tread hole, while its stabilizing wings lock it in place without adhesives. Insert the baluster’s bottom end into the tread or cap hole first, then raise it into the handrail hole, where the Wrought Iron Holder secures it firmly. The holder’s innovative design eliminates the need for epoxy or screws, saving time and ensuring a clean, professional finish. (adapted for your product’s no-glue feature)
Step 5: Align and Secure Check each baluster for plumb using a level, adjusting as needed within the Wrought Iron Holder’s flexible fit. The holder’s stabilizing wings grip the tread, preventing wobbling or twisting over time. Repeat for all balusters, ensuring consistent spacing and pattern alignment (e.g., alternating plain and decorative styles). Unlike traditional methods that rely on messy glue, the Wrought Iron Holder provides a secure, adhesive-free installation that’s both durable and easy to adjust during setup.
Step 6: Final pull baluster tight into handrail, install set screw. The Wrought Iron Holder’s sleek design holds seamlessly with the balusters. Clean any debris, and admire your upgraded staircase! If desired, touch up the handrail or tread with stain or paint to complement the iron balusters’ elegance.
