Where the staircase rises out of the living room, or a landing looks down over it, the balustrade decides how open the whole space feels. Spindles and solid panels cut across the light and the view. Glass holds the same line and lets both through, so the stairs become part of the room rather than something built across it. Choose frameless for the cleanest run, crystal view for an uninterrupted sightline, or posts where the structure suits them better. We cut every panel to your run rather than assembling it from stock lengths.
Each panel is one flat, continuous barrier, with no horizontal rails to use as footholds and no spaces between spindles for a small head or hand to get caught in. The glass itself is chosen for how it behaves under impact. Toughened glass (ESG) carries far greater mechanical resistance than ordinary glass, and if it does break, it breaks into small blunt pieces rather than shards. Laminated glass (VSG) is built from panels bonded together with an interlayer, so the sheet holds in place instead of leaving the opening.
Clear glass shows off the staircase and keeps the room as open as it can be. Where you’d like the balustrade to carry a little more character, a transparent print lays a pattern across the glass without blocking the light, and a full print or a painted colour goes further again. It’s also a way to soften the view from a landing that looks straight down into the living room, without closing it off.
