Install Stair Railings questions, answered by experts

While local building codes vary, a handrail is typically required for stairways with three or four or more risers (steps). For staircases with fewer steps, such as two or three, a handrail may not be legally required. However, it is always best to check your local building codes to confirm the specific requirements in your area. Even if not mandated by code, some homeowners install handrails for comfort, insurance purposes, or if someone in the home has mobility challenges.

Wood and metal are the two most common materials used. Breaking it down further, homeowners tend to use a slightly higher grade of wood than they might elsewhere—it isn’t uncommon to see maple, mahogany, redwood, and other luxury woods used. Metal tends to be aluminum or steel due to the fact that you don’t need very protective metal, as the material isn’t being subjected to any weather.

The standard dimensions for a stair's rise (vertical height) and run (tread depth) depend on whether it is in a residential or commercial building. For residential buildings, the International Residential Code (IRC) and International Building Code (IBC) specify a maximum riser height of 7 3/4 inches (with a minimum of 4 inches) and a minimum tread depth of 10 inches. Additionally, the maximum total rise of a staircase should not exceed 12 feet between landings. For fixed stairs in commercial buildings, OSHA requires a rise between 6 and 7.5 inches and a run between 10 and 14 inches. Standards for other types, such as spiral staircases, will differ.

Most building codes list a minimum width of 36 inches and a maximum height of 7¾ inches. However, for the most comfort and spaciousness, you’ll want to aim for a width of at least 48 inches and a height of 7 inches. Again, it’s always a good idea to base your numbers off steps that you already use comfortably.

Vinyl is generally considered to be the best option for homeowners seeking railings that are both durable and affordable. Vinyl provides protection against the mold and rot that can develop within wood railings. Composite is another budget-friendly option. However, people building high-end decks often prefer the look of glass panels or metal rails.
