Installing Handrails on Uneven Basement Stair Walls with Ledges

Installing a handrail on an uneven basement wall that has a ledge can pose unique challenges. Promenaid can help you achieve a safe and seamless solution that is simple to install.

Two Solutions to Choose From: Spacers or Joggles

To ensure a continuous handrail, Promenaid offers two effective methods: spacers or a joggle.

Spacers

Wall adapters are used to bridge gaps between the wall and the handrail, ensuring a secure and aesthetically pleasing installation.

Joggle

A joggle involves connecting a series of Promenaid bends to match the uneven surface of the basement half wall. 

Choosing the Right Basement Handrail Solution

Choosing between wall spacers and a joggle is a matter of personal preference. Both options satisfy the requirements for ADA compliance.

Promenaid wall spacers add ½” of clearance from the wall each and can be stacked.

For a joggle, select from Promenaid’s range of bends that are specifically designed to navigate corners. The guide below displays our most common bend combinations for joggles:
