Straight Solid Wood Baluster H 95cm Cross-section 50x18mm – 4 Species for Balustrade

This straight solid wood baluster forms the vertical infill of wood balustrades and railings. Available in four species — douglas fir, silver fir, pine or beech — it measures 95 cm in height with a cross-section of 50x18 mm. Sold individually, it allows you to freely compose the infill of a bespoke balustrade or to replace a damaged baluster in an existing installation.

The 50x18 mm cross-section is the standard format of the WoodUp spare parts range: it fits directly into the 18x15 mm grooves of the low rails Solid wood low rail and into the rebates of the silver fir balustrade kit handrails. The spacing between balusters must not exceed 11 cm — a regulatory requirement for landing balustrades (NF P01-012). Over a width of 1 metre, count approximately 6 balusters of 50mm with 11 cm spacing.

Installation advice

Calculating the number of balusters: To calculate the number of balusters required, divide the usable length of your balustrade by (baluster width + max spacing): 50mm + 110mm = 160mm per baluster. Over 2 metres, count approximately 2000 ÷ 160 ≈ 12 balusters. Always check the actual spacing before final fixing.

Fitting: Insert the balusters into the groove of the low rail (the 18mm depth ensures secure hold). Space them evenly across the full length before fixing the handrail. For balustrades without a groove, fix the balusters using discreet lateral screwing or concealed brackets. Always pre-drill to avoid splitting at the top of the baluster.

Finishing: Apply the finish before installation to easily cover all faces. Once the balusters are in place, access to the side faces is difficult. Two coats of oil-wax or varnish applied by brush cover the wood perfectly before insertion.

Maintenance and protection

Without a finish, raw wood stains and reacts to moisture. Indoors, a varnish or oil-wax is sufficient. Outdoors (douglas fir only recommended), apply an exterior saturating oil and renew every 2 years. Silver fir and pine left untreated outdoors will last only a few months before graying and deteriorating — an exterior stain is essential.

Frequently asked questions

How many balusters are needed for 1 metre of balustrade?

Over 1 metre of usable length with a spacing of 11 cm between 50mm balusters: 1000 ÷ (50 + 110) = 6.25 → 6 balusters. Check the actual spacing: 6 balusters over 1m give (1000 − 6x50) ÷ 7 spaces ≈ 100mm spacing — slightly below the regulatory 11 cm, which is compliant.

Is this baluster compatible with WoodUp silver fir balustrade kits?

Yes. WoodUp silver fir balustrade kits (Silver fir balustrade kit 2m + 1 post, Silver fir balustrade kit 1m without post, Silver fir balustrade kit 2m without post) use balusters with a 50x20mm cross-section. The baluster (Straight solid wood baluster) in 50x18mm cross-section is slightly thinner: it fits into the rebates of the silver fir kits with a 2mm play, to be filled with a wood adhesive if necessary. For perfect compatibility, check the groove width of your low rail.

Can douglas fir balusters be used outdoors without treatment?

Douglas fir used outdoors without treatment naturally resists for several years thanks to its durability class 3. It gradually turns grey but retains its mechanical properties. To maintain the original honey tone, apply an exterior wood saturator upon installation and renew annually. Without treatment, graying is natural and structurally harmless.

What is the difference between the 50x18mm baluster Straight solid wood baluster and the 95x18mm straight board?

the straight board (Straight balustrade board 95cm) is 95mm wide compared to 50mm for the baluster (Straight solid wood baluster). The board is used for infill with wider spaces between elements or for a vertical panel effect. The baluster is the traditional vertical spindle. Both have the same height (95cm) and the same thickness (18mm) — they are used with the same low rails with 18mm groove.
