Product Description:

A baluster (spindel) is one of the series of vertical posts that support the handrail all along the length of the stair.

Balustrade is the collective name to describe all the balusters and handrail. 

A bull nose tread is a large curved first (or second) tread that curves out past the side of the stair.

Fascia is the decorative board that goes around the edge of the stairwell.

Handrails are produced in many shapes and sizes. All handrails are produced with groove within its pattern that accommodates the stair spindles and infill.

Newel or newel posts are thicker and taller than a baluster and are used to support the handrail at the top and bottom of a stair and where there is a change of direction.

Nosing is the edge of a stair tread or edging added around a first floor void, where it overhangs the edge of the floor into the well.

A string or stringer forms each side of a stair, supporting the whole length of the stair. They are the two very long wide boards to which the treads and risers are fixed.

The tread is the horizontal part of the stair that you step on.
