Hammered S Scroll Baluster Panel 175 x 1000mm, 12mm Square Bar with Steel Leaves

A flowing S scroll baluster in hammered bar, for gates, railings and stairs. The straight bar runs in from each end for 270mm, then opens into a double S form 460mm long and 175mm wide, made of two large curves joined by three collars, with a steel leaf set inside each curve. There is no straight bar through the middle, so the curves stay open and the design reads clearly from a distance. The 12mm square bar has a hammered texture along its length. It is supplied in raw steel, ready to weld and finish, and the price shown is for one panel.

Why fabricators use it

Long straight ends give you room. At 270mm per end there is far more plain bar than most decorative balusters have. You can cut it down for lower railings and still keep the scrollwork centred between the rails.

An open, simple shape. One flowing S with two leaves shows up well after painting, and it suits a railing where you want a clear rhythm rather than dense decoration.

Hammered texture all the way along. The bar is textured on its faces, so it looks forged rather than plain. If your plain bars are smooth, set these among them as the feature; for a matching run use hammered bars throughout.

Takes any finish. Raw mild steel can be painted, powder coated or hot-dip galvanised after welding.

Where it is used

Front garden railings, side and driveway gates, balconies, external steps and traditional staircase balustrades. It works well alternating with plain bars, or with the panels flipped along a run so the curves mirror each other.

Specifications

How many do you need?

At 110mm bar centres a one metre run holds about nine bars:

Stairs, landings and balconies in homes: no gap may let a 100mm sphere pass. The openings inside these curves are large, so offer the panel up and check it with a 100mm gauge before you commit to it for domestic guarding.

Choosing the right panel

Pick this one for a single open S shape in textured bar. Other designs at a similar height:

• 160 x 1000mm S scroll baluster, flat scrolls on a straight bar
• 190 x 900mm fleur scroll baluster, textured bar with a fleur design
• 290 x 1000mm grooved S leaf baluster, wider, with grooved flat bar and larger leaves
• 200 x 1000mm double heart twist baluster, a closed heart design

Fitting and care

Measure the clear height between your rails and cut an equal amount off each straight end so the curves stay level along the run. Square the ends, tack the panel to the bottom rail, set the top and bottom sections plumb in line, tack the top, then weld out and grind flush. Raw steel will rust if left bare, so finish it promptly. Outdoors, have it hot-dip galvanised, or degrease, prime with a zinc-rich or etch primer and top coat with metal paint, working the paint into every scroll and leaf. Indoors, a good metal primer and a paint or wax finish is enough.
