In line with my previous posts about my newel posts I just want to double check my measurements for the glass panels which I am looking to order.
So I've gone the surefire way about the pitch of my stairs by using the digital angle measurer which shows 47⁰. Which I'm also quite surprised as I thought the maximum pitch for domestic stairs was 42⁰?
The existing baserail is 2610mm which I am keeping in place and just then going to attatch the new one on top which is around 15mm thick
So the handrail is going to be the exact same measurement as the baserail? As they basically run parallel, this is assuming all the newel posts are perfect and plumb, so I'm going to just ask to add 20mm longer than my measurements so I can cut down to size myself just incase lol
I believe the minimum height of the handrail in line with the pitch line is 900mm-1000mm max.
Because I'm adding 15mm on top of the existing base rail would I just keep it simple and get 900mm glass which I assume will bring the overall height of the handrail to about 915mm-950mm (depending on what thickness handrail I get)
Also the glass manufacturer said its recommended to have a 20mm gap between panels, I want 3 panels overall so would need 4 gaps.
Gap Panel Gap Panel Gap Panel Gap
2610 - 80mm = 2530mm
2530mm ÷ 3 = 843mm per panel
Any advice would be much appreciated as I just want to make sure I've got the correct type of measurements before I put my order in haha
