Description

We consider ourselves a custom design and installation company and are very aware of the building code requirements for railings. All of our railings conform to the 2006 IRC and IBC. These are the International Residential Code and International Building Code respectively. Virtually all building departments follow these codes. However it is possible that a local jurisdiction may write a more restrictive code for their area. Knowing and meeting any local codes are not the responsibility of RailPro. It is the responsibility of the customer to inform us of anything outside of the two codes noted above. Here are some of the most basic code requirements for residential railing. The codes are quite extensive and often confusing and your local inspector may not be well versed in the areas of the code that apply to railing or is working to the 1997 UBC or the 2003 IRC instead of the most recent 2006 IRC. Or perhaps he's applying the IBC code to your home vs. the IRC. RailPro is well versed in the most recent codes and can help you work through any issues with the building inspector. When we quote your project, it will always be for a code compliant installation. If you want something outside of the code we'll require a signed waiver for our protection. Return to Contents
