Glass stairs or glass staircases are becoming more and more common day to day. Glass staircases at home are one of the first things that people notice. Bear Glass use glass components for glass staircase systems; i.e. glass stair treads and glass balustrade infill panels to make an average house look contemporary and modern.
Glass stair treads are usually manufactured using a combination of 10mm float and 25mm float, laminated together. A non slip surface can be achieved in several ways, the most popular being an all over sandblast and Ritec coat finish. Another popular anti-slip preference is for grooves to be cut into the front edge of the tread.
A custom built glass staircase is only limited by the designer’s imagination, and can make use of a wide variety of materials to produce what are often strikingly original forms.
Most of us probably take our staircase for granted and think of it as a simple way to ascend or descend between floors. Stairs usually take center stage at the entrance to our home, so Bear Glass can let you through the wide range of staircase styles and trends to optimize their performance.
Here are few tips from Bear Glass while choosing the right stairs design:
- Style – match your staircase to the style of home
- Needs – do you need storage underneath
- Natural home lightening– staircases can be dark so strategically position windows
- Flooring surface– match your floor with your stairs
- Safety – what are the capabilities of the homeowners, like children/elderly persons
- Avoid tripping points – differ surfaces on entering and exiting so your body visualizes and feels the change
