Frameless or post-supported glass balustrades for interior and exterior stairs, with a handrail that fits your style.
A staircase is often the centerpiece of an entry or living space, and glass balustrades let the stairs stay in view while still guarding the edge. Stair railings are more complex than straight railings because the glass must follow the angle of the steps and meet landings and walls. They need accurate templating, careful fabrication and secure anchoring.
We make templates of the stair edge, including each step and the landing, and we plan how the glass panels will meet the handrail. We pick a system, often a base shoe or standoffs, and a handrail in wood, stainless or powder-coated metal. Glass is cut to the exact angles, then installed with the hardware set level and the panels aligned.
Stairs are rarely perfectly uniform. We take accurate measurements or templates of the whole run so panels fit their angles.
Handrails give a finished look and a place to hold. Wood, stainless steel and black metal are common, and we match them to your design.
Where stairs meet landings, panels turn corners. We plan the glass and the hardware at these points so lines look clean.
Interior stairs and exterior stairs have different needs for hardware finish and weather. We choose parts suited to the location.
