The following guidelines are designed to provide an accurate and complete list of components necessary to complete your panel railing system . This checklist and our Linear Collection Metal Panel Systems brochure will provide the flexibility to comply with most building codes as they relate to handrail height and infill spacing requirements . The following guidelines are designed for stairways with 7 1 / 2 ” rise and 10 ” run ( approx 36.9 °), a rake handrail height of 36 " and level handrail heights between 36 ” and 43 ” ( depending on handrail used , curb wall height , amount panels are elevated , etc .). All metal panel lengths are plan view measurements . This system is for interior use only . Consult your local building code official before purchasing and installing this system .
