Face Mount Balusters
A Space-Saving Approach to Railing Design
What if you could reclaim every square inch of your deck? Face mount balusters make this possible, offering a sophisticated, contemporary approach to railing design for homeowners seeking a bold architectural statement. Their defining characteristic lies in how they are mounted.
Rather than sitting on the deck or stair tread surface, our metal balusters attach directly to the outer fascia or rim joist. This method allows them to extend cleanly up to the handrail, creating the illusion of a floating railing system with a crisp, uncluttered appearance.
Clean Lines Through Innovative Installation
By moving the balusters off the walking surface, this mounting technique opens up usable space and improves sightlines. The result is a railing that feels lighter and more refined while still delivering structural integrity.

Versatility Across Styles and Regions
Twisted Bars offers a broad range of face-mounted options, from classic profiles that introduce ornamental detail to simple linear designs that emphasize modern minimalism. These metal balusters are crafted for homeowners who view their railing as an integral part of the home’s architectural narrative.
They adapt effortlessly across different regions and styles. Hammered offset spindles lend handcrafted charm to rustic decks in the Rockies. Twisted baluster designs create a sharp, contemporary edge for urban brownstones staircases, while shaped offset profiles—such as belly designs—enhance openness on rooftop terraces and coastal decks.
Designed for Impact and Livability
Even on a compact urban balcony, such as those found in cities like San Francisco, our face mount balusters offer a smart, space-saving solution. By freeing up the deck surface, they create room for seating and plants while adding a distinctly modern, industrial edge.
Their visual impact is just as compelling. Decorative spindles can accent a grand Southern Colonial porch, while sleek, linear profiles suit modern California cliff side homes where the surrounding landscape takes center stage. These metal balusters enhance curb appeal and livability, making them an ideal choice when space is limited or the view is meant to shine.
