Railings and
Balusters |
|
The Greeks and Romans did not
use balusters. They
were a
Renaissance innovation by Bramante in his Tempietto from
1502; but are commonly associated
with classical
architecture. The Romans
used cross pattern known as Roman Lattice or Transenna. Imperial has an
impressive collection of wood and non wood single and double balusters
and railings. The shape of the single baluster was inspired by the
shape of the bud of the pomegranate tree. The proper way to
start a baluster run should be half baluster engaged to each end supported by a newel post.

Roman Lattice Inserts
The balusters
were a Renaissance invention, however most people think of them as Greek
or Roman. In fact the ancients used Lattice panels instead of
balusters. Some designs comply to the 4" ball rule while other
must be uniquely designed to create the necessary spacing. Imperial
Productions can create any custom design as specified.
