Stair rails are an often-neglected aspect of a home’s interior design. A stair rail is an essential part of a stair system designed to act as a protective barrier to prevent trips and falls and work as a support for climbing up and down the staircases. Stair rails are necessary for multi-level homes, determining the safety and accessibility of a building’s interior and exterior.

Homeowners typically don't put much thought into their stair rails. However, living in a multi-story home means the stair rails are a vital part of the house.
