Hello everyone,
We have a stair guard wall measuring 1.10 meters (3 ft 7 in) from the finished floor level. It is a straight staircase.
We are considering shortening the guard to 90 cm (35 inches), assuming this is the required height.
Our site manager told us that the current required height is actually 1.05 meters (3 ft 5 in).
We are building in Baden-Württemberg.
Can anyone provide information about the required height?
We have two small children – their safety is our top priority.
However, we find it hard to believe that safety would be more at risk with a height of 90 cm (35 inches).
What are your thoughts?
Best regards
