STAIRCASE
GLASS

When you’re considering balustrade staircases, you’ve got several options to match your vision:

Glass balustrades for your staircase

Want the most dramatic transformation? Glass balustrades instantly make your staircase feel open, allowing light to flood through, making your whole space feel bigger. You’ll notice the difference immediately, especially in smaller homes where every bit of light matters.

Don’t think they’re just for ultra-modern properties either. You might be surprised how stunning glass balustrade staircases look in period homes. The contrast between traditional stairs and contemporary glass creates something truly special in your space.

We’d recommend either the frameless or semi-framless balustrade options.

Stainless steel systems

Looking for something clean, architectural and timeless? Stainless steel balustrades give you that industrial-chic look that never seems to go out of fashion. You’ll appreciate their incredible durability too – many of our installations still look brand new a decade later.

You can choose from various post and rail designs, from minimalist to more decorative. Go for a full steel setup or combine steel posts with glass panels for the best of both worlds in your home.

Wire and tension systems

If you want something really unobtrusive in your home, consider our wire systems. Horizontal or vertical wires stretched between end posts create a barrier that almost disappears from certain angles, giving your staircase a unique, architectural look.

When you invest in your home, you deserve quality that lasts. We’ve seen too many DIY disasters and cheap installations that needed replacing within a couple of years – wobbly posts, cloudy glass, fixings that work loose. Not what you want on something as important as your stairs.

All our staircase balustrade systems use proper structural-grade components:

• 316-grade stainless steel that won’t rust or discolour in your home
• Toughened safety glass that meets building regulations
• Properly engineered brackets and fixings designed for the specific loads of staircases

The difference shows not just in how they look in your home, but how they feel. When you grasp a quality balustrade, it feels solid underhand, doesn’t wobble when you brush past it, and gives you that confidence that it’s doing its job properly.

That’s the question we hear most often. The answer is almost always yes, but the approach might vary depending on what you’re working with.

If you have timber staircases, you’ll find the installation most straightforward. The posts can usually bolt directly to the string (that’s the diagonal bit supporting the treads) or to the treads themselves.

For your concrete stairs, you’ll need a different approach, usually with base plates and heavy-duty fixings. Not complicated, just different.

If your home has unusual layouts – spiral stairs, curved sections, galleries connecting to landings – you’ll need a bit more planning, but we’ve yet to find a staircase we couldn’t improve.

Not sure what would work best with your setup? Send us some photos and rough measurements. We can usually give you a good steer based on similar projects we’ve completed for customers just like you.

If you’re handy and have the right tools, you might find that many of our staircase balustrade systems can be installed as a DIY project. We provide detailed instructions, and all the components are designed to work together.

That said, your stairs are structural elements of your home, and mistakes can be costly (and dangerous). If you’re not 100% confident, getting a professional in makes sense. You might find the installation cost is often less than you think, especially when weighed against your peace of mind.

Browse our range of framed and frameless balustrade systems. Each system comes with everything you need for a complete installation, from the main components to the last fixing.

Not seeing exactly what you need? Give us a call. We’ve worked with enough balustrade staircases over the years to know that sometimes a standard solution won’t cut it. We can usually put together a custom package that will work perfectly in your home.
