Volume 3, Issue 4


 

          L.J. Smith's new craftsman balusters feature an added "V-Groove" detail to create distinct top and bottom blocks on our current craftsman designs.

          See your L.J. Smith salesperson for further details about these exciting new baluster styles.

          Any L.J. Smith wood baluster can now be ordered painted with Sherwin-Williams paint colors. Dover White (SW6385), Extra White (SW7006), Alabaster (SW7008) and Pure White (SW7005) are very popular colors. We can, however, quote any Sherwin-Williams color number.

          Just call with your wood baluster materials list, along with the desired SW number, and we'll quote the price and lead time.

       We are now offering our traditional LJ-4091 box newels with decorative fluted, recessed and raised panels, designed to correspond with other millwork in the home.

 

          The following new box newels are crafted in the same manner as our traditional LJ-4075 box newels. Their solid construction allows for various installation methods.

Our box newel Picture Frame Kits add dimension to plain panel box newels. They are an economical alternative to fluted panel, recessed panel and raised panel box newels. Two moulding sizes are available and each kit comes with 4 square frames (1 for each face of the top block), and 4 rectangular frames (1 for each center panel). Each 8 pc. kit is sold separately.

 

 

 
 

 

We would like to invite you to our booth (1773) at the 2008 SEBC Show in Orlando, FL, July 31-August 2. Stop by and say "Hi" to our sales team and see our newest products on display.

If you have a tight fit between the throat of a starting step and the stringer, use a little paraffine. Paraffine will allow tight fitting parts to easily slide into place. It can also be used when screwing balusters snug against prefinished material such as treads or landing tread.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The sweeping elegance of an L.J. Smith Climbing Volute lowers the starting newel height by approximately 4 ½” from what is produced with a standard volute.
