The general rule is to install balusters and newel posts
between the handrail and flooring materials so that a 4” sphere (the
head of an infant) cannot pass through.
Check your local building codes to make sure these are their handrail
requirements. The examples above are general requirements and might not
apply to your local building department so always double check to get
the correct building code requirements.
