Our Polyurethane Newel Posts are the perfect anchor for our railing system, strengthening the balustrade system while also completing the classic look of our design. Made in America using our own tooling and pouring methods, our Polyurethane Newel Posts are guaranteed to outlast wood and be better in virtually every application. Polyurethane is a very hard foam that mimics the feel of wood, but does not require the maintenance or rot repair that wood does. Our Newel posts come with 2 layers of primer, ready for your choice of paint to finish them. They are extremely lightweight, and can easily be split to cover any pipes or supports already in place. All of our options are available in accordance with the graphs below, which show our various dimensions. Our Polyurethane Newel Posts range from 7-1/2″ to 11-1/2″ in width, and up to 48″ in height. Please email or call us at 877-279-9993 with any questions.

FAQs

Q: What is a balustrade system?
A: A balustrade system is a set of repeating vertical posts (called balusters), top and bottom rails, and optional support posts. It’s designed for both safety and decoration on porches, staircases, balconies, and rooftops.

Q: What is the difference between a railing and a balustrade?
A: A railing typically refers to just the handrail. A balustrade includes the full system—balusters, rails, and sometimes posts—designed to be decorative and architectural.

Q: What are your balustrades made from?
A: We offer balustrades made from polyurethane and polymer stone—both are durable, lightweight, and long-lasting alternatives to traditional stone or concrete.

Q: Can your balustrades be curved?
A: Yes! We manufacture curved balustrade systems (up to 20 feet in length without a seam) for rotundas, radius stairs, and custom architectural projects.

Q: How do I install a balustrade system?
A: We offer detailed installation guides for each balustrade system, including downloadable PDFs and videos. Visit our Balustrade Installation page to view step-by-step instructions.
