Hardwood stairway systems explained... there are 3 standard types of staircases.
The closed in stairway: a staircase that is boxed in between two walls... having a wall mounted handrail on one side of the wall.
The single open stairway: a staircase that is boxed in on one side and open on one side... this staircase has a handrail system on the open side.
The double open stairway: a staircase that is open on both sides... this staircase has a handrail system on both sides.
All Three Standard Staircase Systems Are Shown In The Pictures Below.
