Hello everyone,
I have a small problem that I need to discuss with you. I'm setting up a steel railing with a round bar cross-section. This replaces a previous wooden railing.
The problem I discovered when I was going to mount it was the following. The staircase is L-shaped, which means that the slope is slightly different in the bend compared to the last part up to the second floor. I started by measuring the height from the top of the step to the top of the railing 900mm on the first section of the staircase before the turn. Then 900 at the top of the staircase. When I then tried to match my strings that I had drawn as an installation template in the corner at the bend, the heights differed. Which is logical since the step height of 200mm is the same for all steps but the length varies between them.
To get a better picture of everything, I've attached pictures that illustrate the problem.
How would you approach this? Would you compensate with the height of 900mm somewhere? Bend the pipe? I need tips to make it look nice but also maintain a comfortable handrail height.
Thanks!

Your carriage piece is bent, so the railing should also be bent with 90cm up to the railing from each step.
When walking in a staircase, the hand on the railing should feel like it's at the same height regardless of which step you're standing on.
