Hi,
Does anyone have insight on the code minimum height of a knee wall located along the top of a staircase? It's essentially a sheetrock half-wall instead of a baluster. My state code is based on IRC 2006.
Thanks for the help.

but why would the knee or half wall height be any different than if a railing was there instead
