85 The Crown System is available in standard baluster lengths. For the 13/ 4 “ balusters, those lengths are 35”, 371/ 2”, 39” and 44”. For the 11/ 4 “ balusters, those lengths are 31”, 35”, 371/ 2”, 39” and 42”. In most areas, the building codes require a 34” rake height and a 36” balcony or guardrail height. Please note that these balusters are designed to be cut at the top when installed. For 34” or 35” rake heights: Using two balusters on the tread, choose the 35” baluster as the first baluster and the 39” baluster as the second baluster. When using three balusters on a tread, choose the 35”, 37 1/ 2” and 44” balusters (or use the 42” baluster if you are using 11/ 4 “ balusters). The top of these balusters will need to be trimmed up to 11/ 2” to lower the rake rail to approximately 34” and/or to fit under the rail. Balcony Balusters Choose the 35”, 37 1/ 2” or 39” balusters depending upon the height you would like to achieve on the balcony. Remember that a 35” baluster will achieve a balcony height of 36” and is code compliant in most areas. Starting Fitting Balusters When using 11/ 4 “ balusters and for 34” and 35” rake heights, use 42” balusters under volutes and turnouts. When using 13/ 4 “ balusters and for 34” and 35” rake heights, use the 44” balusters under climbing volutes, regular volutes and turnouts. 3 - l e n g t h S y s t e m Available in 34”, 38” and 42” lengths. The 3-length System aligns the bottom baluster squares with the rake of the rail. For 34” to 38” rake heights and two balusters per tread: For 34” to 35” rake heights, use a 34” first baluster and a 38” second baluster. For 35” to 38” rake heights, use a 38” first baluster and a 42” second baluster. For 34” to 38” rake heights and three balusters per tread: For 34” to 35” rake heights, use a 34” first baluster, a 38” second baluster and a 42” third baluster. For 35” rake heights, use a 38” first baluster, and 42” second and third balusters. When installing three balusters on a tread and using the 3-length System, at least two of the bottom baluster squares will need to be trimmed for proper alignment. Warning: At a 35” to 38” rake height, the 42” baluster may not be long enough to use under gooseneck fittings. Please note that these balusters are designed to be cut at the bottom when installed. Balcony Baluster Use 38” balusters for 36” balcony rail heights and 42” balusters for 42” balcony rail heights. Starting Fitting Baluster For 34” to 36” rake heights, use 42” balusters under the volute and 42” balusters under turnouts. Climbing volutes require 42” balusters. Our flutes, twists, reeds and ropes will line up correctly with the rake rail, offering a leading feature that other manufacturers cannot provide in a traditional stair balustrade.
