Balustrades

A series of vertical supports, typically consisting of balusters or spindles, topped by a handrail. Balustrades are used as a safety barrier along staircases, balconies, terraces, or other elevated areas, providing support and preventing falls while also adding a decorative element to the space. You probably see these all the time, but didn't know what they were called until now!
