4 ways to incorporate glass into your staircase design
If you’re looking to increase the value of your home whilst bringing a real wow factor to your hallway, glass staircase parts are just what you need.
They offer a stylish, contemporary solution while making your space feel much bigger and brighter.
There’s a common misconception that glass isn’t as versatile as other options, and many homeowners decide against glass for this reason – but it couldn’t be further from the truth.
To prove it to you, the design experts here at Pear Stairs present four of the most stunning ways you can incorporate glass into your staircase design.
1. Floor-to-ceiling glass safety panels
If you want to make a lasting impression with your staircase, floor-to-ceiling glass safety panels are the way to go.
This effortlessly enlarges your space, allowing natural light to filter through and emphasise your surrounding décor.
To really make the most out of floor-to-ceiling glass panels, we recommend incorporating some other decorative features – like patterned wallpaper or a hanging lamp shade – to illuminate the area and improve its overall aesthetic.
2. Glass spindles
Glass panels aren’t the only way you can incorporate glass into your staircase designs.
Glass spindles are a modern take on the traditional staircase feature. Instead of using larger panels, we use smaller individual panels of glass to create a chic design.
There’s no need for brackets, as the spindles are fixed to the base and handrails, allowing you to enjoy a seamless design.
They make a fantastic addition to oak staircases in particular, creating the perfect balance between traditional and modern – whilst providing all the same benefits as whole glass panels.
3. Glass risers
Glass risers could be the perfect option for you if you’re looking for something a little extra to impress your guests.
A stair riser is the vertical space between one step and the next, which can either be left open or closed.
Unlike their solid wooden counterparts, they offer unobstructed views and allow more light to flow effortlessly through your home.
4. Clamped glass panel staircase
For a touch of extra detail, brass or stainless steel clamps can be used to secure safety glass panels.
It’s common for people to choose clamps that match other fittings and fixtures in their homes (like door handles, for example) so that everything ties in together nicely.
