01 /Does a staircase need a railing
The "Add a railing" option determines whether the staircase will have a handrail. In most cases a railing is necessary: it protects against falling from the open side of a flight or landing.
- An open edge of a flight or landing — a railing is mandatory.
- There are children or elderly people at home — a railing is advisable even on short flights.
- If the staircase adjoins a wall on both sides, a single wall-mounted handrail is sometimes enough.
