Top Horizontal Rails (to protect open stairwell sides or loft/balcony edges)

Horizontal top rails are usually ordered to match the baluster and handrail configuration on your spiral stairs, whether the balusters will be mounted outside or under the spiral rail. The usual configurations are shown here:

Precision Pine's Standard Handrails are used when balusters are outside the rail.

SlimLine Handrails are used when balusters are under the rail. (Charleston style spiral stairs use SlimLine rails with turned balusters and newel posts.)

These photos show the two types of horizontal handrails.

Please note the difference between landing handrails, which are supplied with the spiral stairs kit, and the additional rails that are available as an optinal order.

Circular top rails and trim: Circular rails are provided for round stairwell opening. Trim materials are available as well. Circular materials are generally supplied in 90, 180 or 270 degree segments. For most spiral stairs approx. 90 degrees is usually not required because the landing will use that area of the stairwell.
