4½" Colonial Railing System
A lighter-scale rail of about 4½" (RAL2110 top and bottom) for cottages, Victorian porches and second-floor balconies. Its slimmer proportions keep the railing from looking heavy on smaller houses.
What goes into each railing section
- Rails: one top rail and one bottom rail per section from the RAL2110 family. They come in 8, 10 or 12 ft lengths and are cut to fit between posts.
- Balusters: 21 Spectis baluster styles whose own product listings say they fit these rails. Spacing follows the 4-inch sphere rule.
- Newel post and cap: NCOP 2110-12 is a cap-over-post made for RAL2110T and fits the 12" NP2201 newel. Anchor that newel with KIN01-W or KIN01-C. NC2306 is a tiered pyramid cap specified for this rail.
- Newel posts that fit: 5½" posts (NP2207, NP2207A). A post fits when it is as wide as the rail or up to about 1" wider. For 135° angled posts, use the width of each face.
- Installation pieces: One KIR02 rail kit per top/bottom pair.
Picking baluster height
| Target top-rail height | Support block | Baluster length needed (approx.) |
|---|---|---|
| 30" | 4" | 19.9" |
| 30" | 2" | 21.9" |
| 36" | 4" | 25.9" |
| 36" | 2" | 27.9" |
| 42" | 4" | 31.9" |
| 42" | 2" | 33.9" |
Finished height ≈ support block + bottom rail (2.9375") + baluster + top rail (3.125"), using RAL2110 dimensions. This is a planning estimate only. Check local code (typically 36" for homes and 42" for guards) and the drawing for each part before ordering. Rails end at newels, columns or walls and are never joined to one another.
Compatibility on this page is taken from the "rails that fit" information on each Spectis product listing, together with the Spectis Balustrade Systems catalog for hardware, newels and caps.
