Stair Rails

Keep in minds aesthetics and safety: While choosing the right stair railing for your home remember that safety and aesthetics need to go hand in hand. Your local building codes will dictate how tall railings should be and hand extensions in order for your stairs to be safe when changing levels. This doesn’t mean that your stairs have to look boring or utilitarian. On the contrary! Many handrail designers have created gorgeous varieties from rustic wood varieties for a log cabin to ultra-sleek and modern for an urban penthouse loft. Choose the style you love and then ensure it meets the safety requirements for your local codes before installing.
