When designing a staircase, it is crucial not only to calculate the necessary parameters correctly but also to make a good choice regarding railings. If children or elderly people live in the house, high-quality railings for stairs are a vital engineering solution. The quality of the structure and ease of future use directly depend on the materials used to make the railings.
What to Pay Attention to When Choosing Railings
- The materials used for the staircase and railings should be fire-resistant. All wooden elements, if any, must be treated with a solution ensuring fire safety.
- Do not use ceramic tiles or other slippery materials for stair coverings — this is unsafe, especially for children and elderly people.
- The height of the stair railings should be at least 80 cm, and balusters should be placed close enough to ensure safety.
- Always check the strength of the staircase, considering a maximum load of at least 220 kg on the steps and at least 100 kg on the railings.
Stair Railings — Not Only Safe but Also Convenient
After safety, the second most important factor for stairs and railings is the convenience of the entire structure. Much depends on the size and parameters of the steps. Too narrow or overly high steps will create discomfort for users. It is recommended to adhere to existing standards — the step height should be about 12–15 cm. To provide additional comfort, specialists often install lighting or special illumination along the flight. To make the staircase safer and more stylish, a carpet covering can be placed on the steps, harmonizing with the overall interior. Floor lamps, vases, and other accessories can also enhance the aesthetics of the staircase.
As for materials used in these engineering structures, they can vary. One of the most popular combinations is wooden steps paired with stainless steel railings. This design looks attractive in almost any interior while providing the necessary safety.
