A handrail is the part of the staircase that people hold onto for support when going up and down the stairs.
The handrail must provide stability and a continuous guide along the stair.
A handrail can be made of a variety of materials.
It can either be attached to a wall, extend from the side of the stair rail, or sit on top of the balusters (vertical posts) on the open side of a staircase.
