7 Front Stair Railing Ideas

Your front steps are the entrance to your home, the first and last impression someone gets of your home when they enter and leave.

Let’s look a few, seven to be exact, front stair railing ideas to help inspire your next home improvement project!

Concrete Front Stair Railing

Starting out with one of Simple Rail Kits, this Surface L160 Aluminum Handrail is made from, you guessed it, aluminum. All the pipe and fittings are aluminum which helps provide flexibility and durability through all types of weather.

Brick Stairs Railing

I don’t know what it is but I’m loving the brick uniformity here. Brick can be a tricky surface to mount to but thankfully our kits are designed to be easily mounted to most surfaces, including brick!

This Hybrid 55 Handrail mounts to the exterior of your home and uses just one post to mount to the surface of your front steps to maximize space with less materials. And as you can see its powder coated black. All our handrail kits come with four different powder coating options. Contact our project specialists about additional color options!

Wood Front Stairs Railing

Here we have a unique dual railing for wood steps. These railings are our Surface 567 Handrail which utilizes our End Post Handrail Return and Internal Couplings to create a smooth 90 degree turn at the posts of this handrail.

Front Porch Railing

Now this is a cool set up, perhaps I’m a little biased. Here our customer outfitted their front steps and front porch with our handrails. Now you may be thinking, how did they do this with just a standard kit?

That’s where our team of project specialists comes in. Our customer came to our team with their railing idea, and we were able to work together to come up with this design. What makes this even more unique is that our customer used a textured brown paint on the railing after it was installed to match his home.

Front 3-Step Railing

Now, we have the most basic of all front steps, the standard 3-step railing. Basic doesn’t mean it’s bad or boring by any means. I love me a nice 3-step entrance. Alright enough about the steps themselves.

Here we have this Surface C50 Handrail that is adjustable to meet your angle needs for your steps. With just a couple twists on the set screws you can adjust the angle of your railing with no construction background. Trust me I’ve done it and I barely know what I’m doing. 

One thing about this railing on this house is that it matches it perfectly. We mentioned powder coating options to help match your homes aesthetic, but also the simplicity of our handrail kits help them blend right in to the curb appeal of your house.

Long Front Stairs Railing

What if you have a longer set of front steps? Well, first I’d say you must be exhausted walking up those every day. Then next I would say that we still have the perfect solution for you!

Our Simple Rail Kits can go up to 19 feet for most styles. Yes, you heard me right, 19 feet! 

So, if you have a long set of stairs that you are looking to outfit a railing for because let’s be honest. People are going to need a little support and stability trying to walk up a long set of stairs. Then look no further than our kits that you can easily install yourself!

Split-Level Front Stair Railing

Not every house or front steps are built the same. Here we have a handrail designed to come off a garage/driveway to the lower-level front entrance on a split-level house. 

Using our Side Outlet Elbow and the Obtuse Angle Elbow our customer was able to design a handrail that could make a sharp 90 degree turn and then angle down their steps with ease!
