TimberSIL® Glass Wood Product descriptions
Balusters
Wood spindles or pickets used in a stair, porch, or balcony rail as support for the top handrail. Typically made from 2" x 2" wood cut to either 32", 36", 42", or 48" in length. These may be customized for a specific look on a special order basis. Balusters are usually attached to either the inside or outside of the rail with two fasteners per joint. A handrail with balusters should be installed whenever and wherever there is a drop-off of over 18 inches.
Decking
Lumber used primarily as flooring or in roofing applications. 5/4" x 4" (actually only 1" thick) and 2" x 6" (actually only 1 1/2" thick) are most common in the United States, though 5/4"x6, 2"x8", 3"x6", and 4"x6" are also used, but not as frequently. Decking is usually RED (radius edge decking), which means that the edges of the pieces have been rounded off more than dimensional lumber. Decking may also be sawn with tongues and grooves and in various patterns upon request.
Posts and Beams
Posts are pieces of lumber used upright in a vertical position to support a beam and carry a load. They are also used as supports for fences. Post are evenly thick, typically 4"x4", 5"x5", or 6"x6". Posts typically rest on or are embedded in concrete pads or piers. Beams are applied horizontally and are generally 3" thick or larger. Beams are used to support a load and generally rest on the posts.
