handrail and baluster



What is the above called in English? HANDRAIL and BALUSTER seem not suitable.

A handrail is a long narrow bar that you can hold onto for support, for example when you are going up or down stairs.

A balustrade is a row of posts, joined together at the top, built along the edge of a balcony, bridge, etc. to prevent people from falling off, or as a decoration.
