Damn straight, I just discovered Steve Hoffmann forums and wish I hadn't started up here. They may not be quite as smart but they aren't broken creeps like the swine on ILM. I tried for 20 years with positive and encouraging comments, got a lot of attitude in return. See y'all later

Brief googling shows me that this is a British v. American thing:
Now here is where it becomes more confusing.Many Americans — I cannot speak for other countries — also use the word “banister” to refer to the handrail of a staircase.http://www.kirkmahoney.com/blog/2009/02/baluster-vs-balustrade-vs-banister/

I think bannister is generally used in the UK to mean handrail also.
cf AA Milne, from "The King's Breakfast": ""Nobody," he said, As he slid down the banisters".

also used in a popular Smiths lyric but I refuse to promote far right views
― The Remoans of the May (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 10 May 2017 13:11 (six years ago) link
I call the handrail the banister or the rail or the handrail. The posts that hold it up are called balusters.
If I were feeling hypercorrect I might say that the handrail and balusters together constitute the banister.
If you are sliding down it, you are sliding down the entire structure, so sliding down the banister is fine either way.
Balustrade is too grand a word for a home. Balustrades are for fairy-tale palaces or dictatorial proclamation-making.
