Continuous Handrail

A Continuous handrail is a handrail that does not stop and start at a newel post or where the stair changes direction, but continues in smooth curves from the bottom of the stair to the top. This handrail allows you to run your hand all the way along as you walk up or down the stair. The introduction of more socially-responsible building standards requiring continuous handrails now allow better and safer access to buildings.
