Here are some more pictures of a glass balustrade we applied to a timber stairs just recently. The stairs was beautifully manufactured and installed by the client and we fixed stainless steel machined glass brackets to which bolted the clear glass panels and then bolted the stainless steel handrail flat to.

The fabrication is simple but the attention to the detail as in the handrail and the machined brackets really makes it stand out from the crowd. As I say with a bit of design thought the results can be very satisfying indeed.

We completed an interesting project recently in Naas where our clients had a typical wooden staircase and wooden spindel type balustrade and decided they wanted to revamp and up grade the whole stairs and landing areas. We set about preparing our proposal and came up with what in my opinion works very well indeed. Basically we planted on grounds and brackets for glazing to the existing wooded stair string. This was finished in white, we then installed clear glass to these grounds by means of stainless steel machined dome head type bolts with gaskets and the nwe installed a stainless steel flat bar handrail which accomadates a timber handrail which will match the clients new stair treads. The results we very good and the whole job ties in very well with the surrounding decor now.

This type of design has made a huge difference to the Hall and Landing and it is the first element you see as you enter the fron door. It is a very cost effective method of getting glass in your lobby.

In the past few years we have been supplying many apartment blocks with feature metalwork. Thankfully our workshop and crew are very flexible and we are not soley dependant on the Construction Industry, however we would like this market to begin moving again, for everyone’s sake.

The products we have supplied are items like door threshold drainage like Draindeck to door canopies or balconies, gates, railings, balsutrades etc. Below are some photos of some of this work.

As you can see we cover all aspects of the metalwork packages including the sourcing and installation of the glass panels and finish colouring the mildsteel and galvanised items. Our site crews install to the highest safety requirements and their workmanship is world class and of course their attention to detail is what makes them special indeed. These are just a few images of the type of residential packages we have been involved in and I will post some more at a later stage. Don’t forget if you would like any information on what we can offer please don’t hesitate to call us.

Up to lately, when asked to install glass balustrade to a home situation the tendency has been towards wood or stainless steel but we were involved in the RTE Showhouse earlier this year and the designer asked that we use brass. I thought about it for a while and we came up with a simple but rather effective soloution which can actually be applied to most if not all wooden staircases and which gives and totally different feel to your hall stairs and landing.

This stairs was a typical wooden staircase with typical wooden balustrade. We removed the wooden balustrade and covered the stringer with brass, even on the top edge and then fixed our glass with machined brass domes. We then installed a tubular brass handrail by bolting in through the glass with matching brass domes……….. Even I was impressed !
