Support
The PB9013 decorative baluster is an essential component of railing and balustrade systems, seamlessly blending the aesthetic lines of classical architecture with modern engineering. Combining safety and elegance for balconies, terraces, verandas, and staircases, this baluster model offers a perfect alternative to traditional stone, cast marble, or wooden railings, which often come with high costs, excessive weight, and demanding maintenance. Thanks to its lightweight structure that adds no extra static load to buildings, it is highly preferred and safe for multi-story balconies.
Featuring physical dimensions of 151 mm in width, 151 mm in depth, and 900 mm in height, its ideal 90 cm height fully complies with standard railing regulations while providing both visual substance and a secure barrier. Manufactured from high-density rigid polyurethane (150-220 kg/m³), this model offers wood-like hardness and exceptional impact resistance. With its closed-cell structure, the water absorption rate is below 1%, preventing structural degradation even in damp, rainy, or freezing outdoor environments.
In terms of visual design, the PB9013 model stands out with its symmetrical and smooth surface details. The square transitions of the top and bottom bases, combined with the circular collars on the shaft and an elegant tapering neck, perfectly reflect the character of neoclassical and traditional architectural projects. Thanks to flawless molding quality, the surface is free of imperfections or waves, allowing it to achieve a noble, marble-like finish once painted.
Highly resistant to harsh outdoor conditions, this product maintains its shape without expanding or contracting in temperatures ranging from -100 °C / +80 °C. It does not rot or attract insects like wood, nor does it crumble or crack like plaster. It is delivered with a factory-applied white industrial primer, which enhances topcoat adhesion. However, since paint brands do not guarantee topcoat applications without their own proprietary primers, applying an additional primer post-installation is entirely optional and at the customer's discretion. Polure does not guarantee painting processes.
Its lightweight nature offers a major advantage during installation. Easily cut with standard woodworking tools, the baluster should be installed using Polure Polfix adhesive at the top and bottom connection points. In addition to adhesive, mechanical fastening with screws is mandatory. For outdoor applications, it must be coated with UV-resistant exterior paint to protect against solar radiation. Once screw holes and joints are filled with suitable putty and sanded, a seamless, smooth finish is achieved.
- The PB9013 baluster model offers elegant solutions for both exterior and large-scale interior projects thanks to its versatile applications
- It serves as a primary support and decorative spindle for balcony railings in classically designed villas, waterfront mansions, and luxury residential developments
- It acts as a stylish boundary fence for terraces, spacious verandas, and garden pathways
- Indoors, it is highly preferred as a supporting element under handrails in grand hotel lobbies, mansion entrances, and wide spiral staircases of duplex apartments
- For poolside decorations and walkways, its lightweight structure allows for installation without damaging ground insulation, unlike heavy cast concrete railings
- Additionally, it is frequently used to create decorative guide barriers at the entrances of restaurants, wedding venues, and prestigious commercial spaces
- Installation of the PB9013 baluster must be carried out on clean and dry surfaces
- First, precisely measure and mark the alignment of the bottom surface and the top handrail where the product will be placed
- Apply Polure Polfix adhesive to the fastening points; silicone-based adhesives must strictly be avoided
- To enhance structural strength, mechanical fastening with screws or dowels at both the top and bottom centers of the baluster is mandatory in addition to the adhesive
- After installation, cover screw heads and joints with an exterior-grade acrylic putty
- Once the putty dries, smooth the surface using 180-220 grit sandpaper
- Finally, complete the installation by applying two coats of UV-resistant paint to protect the product from solar radiation in outdoor settings
- Polyurethane baluster elements require minimal maintenance thanks to their closed-pore structure
- Cleaning the product with a damp cloth, soft sponge, or low-pressure clean water is sufficient; abrasive chemicals and stiff brushes should be avoided
- To extend the lifespan of outdoor railings, it is recommended to inspect the painted surface once a year and perform localized puttying and painting if any hairline cracks or paint peeling are detected
- In case of damage from impacts, the affected area can easily be filled with standard putty, sanded, and repainted to restore its original appearance
Will it be affected by rain and sun on outdoor balconies?
Yes, it can be safely used outdoors. The closed-cell polyurethane material has low water absorption (below 1%), preventing rotting and swelling. With a temperature resistance ranging from -100 °C / +80 °C, it remains unaffected by freezing conditions. However, to protect it from solar UV rays, it must be coated with a high-quality UV-resistant exterior paint. Leaving it unpainted may cause yellowing over time.
Which adhesive should be used during installation?
Only Polure Polfix adhesive, which offers high bonding strength, should be used during installation. Silicone or standard assembly adhesives should be avoided as they can flex and fail over time. Additionally, for safety and resistance to wind or impact loads, mechanical fastening with screws at the top and bottom points is mandatory in addition to the adhesive.
Can paint be applied directly onto the product?
The PB9013 model is delivered with a factory-applied white primer, which helps the topcoat adhere to the surface. However, since paint manufacturers do not guarantee applications done without their own primers, applying an additional primer layer after installation is entirely at the customer's discretion. Polure is not responsible for painting applications or subsequent warranty claims.
What are its advantages compared to heavy marble or concrete balusters?
While concrete or marble railings add tons of static load to a building's balconies and terraces, polyurethane balusters are extremely lightweight and add no structural burden. They do not suffer from structural issues over time, such as cracking, crumbling, or rust bleeding from internal iron bars. Compared to wood, they are completely resistant to moisture, insect infestation, and decay. They are also easy to cut and quick to install.
Is it possible to repair the product if it gets damaged?
Yes, it is highly practical to repair. Any dents or scratches on the surface caused by heavy impacts can easily be filled with standard exterior putties or wood fillers. Once the putty dries, the surface can be smoothed with fine sandpaper (180-220 grit) and spot-painted for a complete restoration. A full replacement is not required.
