Before you order
Are stair spindles and balusters the same thing?
Both terms describe the upright components beneath a staircase or landing handrail. Browse our metal stair spindles to compare decorative styles and fixing methods.

Yes, custom sizes are available. Contact us with your required length, preferred design and mounting details so we can discuss your project.
How do I choose the right spindle fixing?
Our designs use different mounting methods. Read the fixing details for your chosen spindle and ask your installer to check compatibility with your staircase before ordering.
How do I check what is included?
