Stair rails

This section includes rails that can be used to provide support while climbing or descending the stairs.

Stair and corridor rails have features which make them safer or easier for a person with a disability or an older person to use.

Stair rails which move with the user are manual devices designed to assist you maintain your balance whilst walking up and down stairs. You hold the bar and move it gradually up/down while ascending or descending. If a sudden movement is made, such as if you were to lose your balance, the rail/bar locks in position giving you a secure handhold.  

Newel rails are designed to turn through 90 degrees around the newel post (the upright post/s of the stair banister). They provide a continuous grip as the user reaches the bottom or top of the stairs and turns the corner.

Vertical supports for fixing stair rails support a stair handrail by attaching to your stair's tread and wall string. They may be required if your stair rail cannot be attached straight to the wall with angled brackets (perhaps because the wall is a partition wall or made of hollow bricks).
