The difference between stair railing and handrail

Stair railings

Railings usually refer to the pillars standing on the ground or the base on both sides of the stairs, which are the accessories that support and connect all the accessories of the stairs. The role of the railing has two aspects, one is to make people go up and down the stairs safer and reduce the risk of falling down; the other is to make the whole staircase work normally.

Stair handrail

The handrail is a common pole at the top of the railing, which is generally more horizontal, and some positions are also bent. In simpler terms, the part that people hold on to when going up and down the stairs is the handrail. The handrail is the longest part of the body that people make physical contact with the stairs.

There are also two functions of the handrail, one is to ensure that the railing can stand upright and protect the railing, and the other is to allow people to use force when going up and down the stairs.

Difference Between Handrail and Railing

There is really no difference between the two. One is that the positions of the two are different, and the handrail is on the top of the railing; the other is that the function is different, whether it is for the stairs itself or for the people who use the stairs, the main function of the handrail is to protect and save effort, and the function of the railing is to support; Third, the processing technology of the two is different. The railing needs to be punched and welded to complete the installation, while the handrail is a welding-free integrated assembly;

In addition, the handrail and the railing complement each other, the two complement each other and complement each other, making the staircase fulfill its mission.
