Custom Cut Shapes for your Staircase Railing | EPAI Railing
Looking for custom cut shapes for your staircase railing?
It's easy to get your own in just three simple steps. All you need to do is provide us with a few measurements, such as tread rise measurements, the overall number of risers, and the overall length.
Step 1: Count the Number of Steps
To count the number of steps, simply count the tread noses to determine the number of steps.
Step 2: Measure the Overall Length
To determine the overall length, measure the horizontal distance from the edge of the nosing on the first tread at the bottom of the staircase to the edge of the nosing on the floor or landing at the top of the staircase. - Measure B
Step 3: Measure Tread Depth, Riser Height, and Nosing Depth
To obtain the measurements for tread depth, riser height, and nosing depth, follow these steps:
Tread Depth (Measure C): Measure the horizontal distance from the front to the back of each tread.
Riser Height (Measure D): Measure the vertical height from the top of one tread to the top of the next tread.
Nosing Depth (Measure F): Measure the horizontal distance from the front of the tread to the edge of the nosing.
Tread Depth (Measure C): Measure the horizontal distance from the front to the back of each tread.
Riser Height (Measure D): Measure the vertical height from the top of one tread to the top of the next tread.
Nosing Depth (Measure F): Measure the horizontal distance from the front of the tread to the edge of the nosing.
Step 4: Stairs Angle (Optional)
If you want to determine the stairs' angle, lay the digital level across a number of treads using a straight edge, such as a board or a long level. Alternatively, we provide an alternative method that doesn't require a digital-level app. - Measure E
By following these simple steps, you can easily get custom-cut shapes for your staircase railing that fit perfectly and look great.
Staircase railing requirements may vary by location, but they typically include specifications for minimum height, spacing, and other safety features such as handrails and balusters. It is essential to consult with a professional or review local building codes and safety regulations to ensure that your staircase railing is installed correctly and meets all necessary safety requirements.
If you're looking to install a new staircase railing, or custom cut shapes for your existing one, it's essential to get accurate measurements of the overall length, tread depth, riser height, nosing depth, and stairs angle. By following the proper steps and guidelines, you can ensure that your staircase railing is sturdy, safe, and meets all necessary building codes and safety regulations.

Does it matter what side of the staircase the railing is on?
It does matter what side of the staircase the railing is on. Building codes and safety regulations dictate that the staircase railing must be installed on the side of the staircase where there is a drop-off or potential fall hazard, which is usually the open side of the staircase opposite the wall.Staircase railing requirements may vary by location, but they typically include specifications for minimum height, spacing, and other safety features such as handrails and balusters.
