Staircase Balustrade FAQs

What’s the difference between a handrail and a stair rail?

There isn’t really a difference, as handrails that are used for staircases can also be called stair rails or banisters. However, there are a few building regulations that need to be adhered to when fitting a handrail to a staircase, such as its height, shape and material used. It is best to check building regulations first before purchasing handrails for use on staircases to ensure you are buying the correct product.

How much do glass staircases cost?

Balustrades pricing can vary depending on the style of frame (seamless, steel or timber), barrier and fittings chosen. Other factors such as glass thickness and style may also impact the costs. The number one aspect to consider when choosing balustrades for staircases is safety, and we can suggest and provide the most suitable balustrade systems that will ensure quality, safety and a long-lasting investment. If you have an area in mind that you want pricing up, you can use our balustrade planner tool for an instant online estimation.

Is a handrail a legal requirement for stairs?

Yes, handrails are mandatory on at least one side of a staircase, if the staircase is less than one metre wide, with handrails required on both sides if the stairs are wider than this. There are a few requirements that need to be met under building regulations when it comes to the height and placement of handrails for stairs and in public buildings, so it is always best to check before proceeding with installation, or seek advice from a professional.
