Important ADA Standards
You Need to Know

Smooth and Continuous

The surface of ADA compliant handrails should be smooth and continuous. Someone using the railing should be able to maintain a consistent grip and easily run their hand along the entire handrail. It must not be obstructed along the top or side. Your handrail must return to a wall, guard (like a D-return), or the landing surface.

Correct Height

An ADA compliant handrail must be 34 in. x 38 in. in height. If you have a drop of 6 inches or more on the side of your ramp, stair, or landing, you will also need a bottom rail to protect wheelchairs, feet, and crutches from falling off the edge. The height of your handrail must also remain consistent. Your railing cannot be 34 inches in one section and 38 inches in another. If the handrail is to be primarily used by children, ADA requires a mid-rail with a height of 28 inches added below the 34-38 inch height grab rail.

Both Sides

You must have ADA compliant handrails on both sides of your ramp or stairs. They must also line every platform in between flights of stairs and ramp runs. You will also need to leave 36 inches of space between the two railings to leave enough space for a wheelchair to access and comfortably pass through.

I am a woodworker and have never done metal work including welding. I needed to build 2 ADA approved Handrails for this ramp. Since I do not do welding I went online for alternate methods. I saw your site and it seemed to be my answer. I was able to build the entire handrail system by myself. It was not complicated and achieved everything I hoped it would. And it looks great. Plus it meets everybody's code.

ADA Railing FAQs

What is ADA compliant railing?

The handrail must be located on both sides of the stairway, ramp, etc. The handrail must be a consistent height (between 34 and 38 inches) above the walking surface. No matter which side of a stairway or ramp a person chooses to use, they should have a handrail. There must also be at least 36 inches of space between the two railings to allow wheelchairs and people to pass through.

What height should ADA handrail be?

34 inches. The current ADA standards dictate the height of an ADA handrail must be a minimum of 34 inches and a maximum of 38 inches from the walking surface to the top of your grab rail. The height of your handrail must also remain consistent above walking surfaces, stair nosings, and ramps.

Do I need handrails on both sides of a stairway or ramp?

Yes. Railing is required on both sides.

What size should my ADA handrail be?

The ADA handrail diameter must be between 1¼ and 2 inches with a perimeter dimension of 4 inches minimum and 6¼ inches maximum. If the handrail is non-circular, it must be a maximum of 2 ¼ inch in diameter.

Do I need a single or double handrail?

It depends on the project. We need to take into consideration if it is at a school or commercial building, and also if it's a stairway or ramp, and how long or what the rise is. We can work with you to find a solution. Just give us a call.

Do I need ADA compliant railing for my home?

No. Residential homes are not required to have ADA compliant handrail unless your insurance company pays for it.
