Face Mounted Balusters

What if you could reclaim every square inch of your deck? Face-mounted balusters make this possible and represent a sophisticated contemporary approach to railing design for homeowners seeking a bold, architectural statement. Their unique feature is how they mount to railings.

Unlike traditional balusters that sit on the deck or stair tread surface, face-mounted balusters are affixed to the outer fascia or rim joist of the balcony or stair stringer, extending up to the handrail. This technique creates an illusion of a floating railing system, lending an exceptionally clean and uncluttered look.

Twisted Bars offers a broad range of face-mounted options, from classic shapes that add ornamental flair to simple lines that emphasize modern minimalism. They are crafted for those who see their railing as a core part of the homes architectural narrative. With countless standard or custom profiles to choose from, we can provide a style to suit your vision, whether that’s a traditional aesthetic or a contemporary showpiece.

Our balusters are popular across a variety of regions and architectural styles. Hammered offset spindles lend a handcrafted charm in the Rockies’ rustic cabins. Twisted designs create a sharp, modern edge in urban brownstones. In coastal regions, they can create a crisp frame for ocean views without overwhelming the openness of the deck. Shaped offset balusters such as a belly design can enhance the sense of openness on rooftop terraces.
