The Price Advantage India Offers

Recently, I have been spending a lot of time on researching the international price trends with respect to mild steel staircase balusters and railings. I have gone through the online catalogues of many international manufacturers and dealers of staircase balusters and their components. The study has thrown up some very interesting facts. Maybe, because the price of mild steel in most developed countries is higher than in India, or maybe because they have to pay much higher labour or other input costs, but the price of the finished mild steel staircase balusters and railings in India is much less that the same product in most countries. The more complex the design, the more glaring the difference becomes. In fact most dealers and manufacturers in most countries do not even offer very complex designs.

In fact, if one were to go through our product catalogue (by clicking on the Flickr photostream or the MS Panels / Balusters tab under the Our Portfolio heading), one would be able to see the relatively higher complexity of designs that we can afford to offer our clients, at relatively much cheaper prices. To give you a better understanding of the price difference, most of the designs displayed in our catalogue, cost less than 5 USD!!

Keep visiting our blog, as we keep on adding designs and products (we will be adding our range of railings and furniture very soon!!) pretty frequently!!

Balusters ...... !!

The internet today is a veritable treasure trove of interesting facts and tid-bits (although largely unverified!!), about even the most miniscule of everyday things. After looking up the internet to find out about the first staircase built by man, today I started looking for the origin of the word baluster. What I came up with was interesting and fascinating at the same time.

The origin of the word "baluster" can be traced back to four different languages and cultures and probably times as well:

1. French - balustre
2. Italian - balaustro
3. Latin - balaustium
4. Greek - balaustion

This information has largely been collected from wikipedia, the researchers' favourite, but what really struck me was the fact that these are four different languages spread over different geographical areas, and yet they have very similar sounding names for the same thing. Maybe the origin of the word baluster lies in an even older language, which formed the origin of these languages!!

If anybody has more knowledge about the origin of the word baluster, please feel free to send in your comments.

Also, the balusters of a staircase are typically called banisters or bannisters, which in turn may also refer to the handrail of the staircase. However banisters are usually thinner than the balusters. And if the balusters are placed together to form a railing, it is called a balustrade.
