What Is The Building Code For A Egress Walkout Guardrail And Handrail
If you just had an egress walkout system installed in your northern Virginia home and are looking for a contractor to install wrought iron guardrails and handrails, they must be installed to code. A guardrail system, or egress walkout, has some very strict requirements, one of which is for the pickets in the guardrail system to pass a 4-inch sphere. Where the wrought iron guardrail system is installed, the lower channel cannot be larger than 6 inches from the base of the egress retaining wall.
