Custom Balusters Made to Your Specifications

Custom balusters give you complete control over the finished component. Excel Dowel specializes in producing balusters based on customer specifications, making it possible to request specific dimensions, profiles, decorative details, wood species, and other secondary requirements for your project.

If you are matching existing stair components or working with a particular design, provide your specifications to Excel Dowel for pricing. Custom manufacturing can help maintain consistency across your project.

As part of its broader selection of custom wood products, Excel Dowel applies its wood manufacturing capabilities to projects that call for specific component requirements.

  • Poplar
  • White Oak
  • Red Oak
  • Soft Maple
  • Hard Maple
  • Cherry
  • Walnut
  • Mahogany

These choices allow you to match a baluster to existing stair treads, handrails, cabinetry, flooring, or other woodwork. Depending on the project, you can select a species that fits your preferred grain, color and finishing approach.

Styles and Profiles for Interior and Exterior Applications

Excel Dowel offers several baluster styles, including square, turned, tapered, fluted, twisted, reeded, and rope. This selection gives you practical options for different architectural requirements and design preferences.

Interior balusters are typically used for staircases, loft railings and entryways while exterior balusters are often utilized on porches, decks, outdoor stairs, and railing systems. Wood species and finishing are selected according to the project environment.

Standard Options and Custom Manufacturing

Standard baluster options are available for customers working with established dimensions. Excel Dowel offers standard lengths from 31″ to 42″, with select wood species available.

If these standard lengths do not meet your requirements, custom manufacturing provides another option. Submit your desired specifications to receive a quotation based on your project.

Secondary Operations and Ready-to-Finish Components
