Stair Railing and Balcony Handrail

Stair railing makes a strong statement about interior design choices. Interior stair railing kits from Wood Railing are a great choice! In many homes, the staircase is the most visible architectural element inside the home. As it rises from floor to floor, the viewer’s eye is drawn upward towards the heavens. Often the stairs will be accompanied by a stone or rock fireplace in a great room. This large living space is the central gathering point of a home.

      Hi Rob
      All railings are built to meet the common building code requirement where no space is greater than a 4″ sphere, no problem.
      Let me know if you have any other questions
