Key requirements for commercial stair railings in Florida

In Florida, commercial stair railing codes are established by the Florida Building Code. Here are a few of their basic requirements:

Height: Building handrails should be between 34 and 38 inches high. People of different heights, including children and people with disabilities, should be able to hold onto the railing for support.
Continuity: Handrails should be continuous and graspable along the entire length of the stairs without any interruptions or breaks. This allows for a secure grip while ascending or descending the stairs.
Clearance: There should be a minimum clearance of 1.5 inches between the railing and the wall or any other obstruction. Clearance ensures that people can comfortably grasp the handrail without their fingers getting caught or pinched.
Strength: Commercial railings should be able to withstand a certain amount of force without bending, breaking, or becoming loose. Anyone using the handrail should feel confident in its ability to support their weight and provide stability.
Materials: The materials used for railings must be strong, durable, and able to withstand the harsh weather conditions of the state. This includes a certain amount of resistance to corrosion, moisture, and impact.
