A staircase railing is a balustrade or structure that lines one or both sides of a staircase. A staircase railing is both decorative and functional since it prevents people from falling as they ascend or descend a staircase.

Depending on the staircase railing design, it can consist of: –

1. A single handrail attached to a sidewall
2. An all-glass balustrade on one or either side of the staircase
3. A balustrade comprised of several metal/wood balusters topped by a
metal/wooden handrail on one or either side of the staircase
4. A balustrade which is a combination of both glass and metal balusters
