Here is another image of frame-less glass balustrade. This is the landing area to the staircase I showed earlier.

The glass is fixed to a steel stringer which is fixed into the edge of the concrete floor. There are no visible bolts or welds to cheapen the appearance of this piece.

Note the way in which the timber handrail is fitted. There are no timber corners at all. There are all done by thickening the stainless steel and so eliminates the risk of the timber corners opening and looks very good……………………………. Attention to detail is the key.

Here are some images of a staircase and landing balustrade we installed recently in a home. The stairs is manufactured from mildsteel and finished in black and the glass is fixed to the sides of the stringers with a stainless steel flat bar fixed to the top section of the glass with timber slip handrail.

The treads are manufactured from oak and have a double stainless steel anti slip strip in each of them. This staircase was installed before the roof was put on the building and so eliminated any bolts or unsightly joints to the steel members. This goes back to what I said in earlier blogs that design is crucial at an early stage.

I’ll have more images shortly.

Here are some fine examples of metalwork and glass. We manufactured and installed 2 mildsteel steel staircases to a lobby area and fitted frameless glazing to both sides of the stairs and around the void areas. We then completed the balustrade by installing a stainless steel tubular handrail to the side of the glass.

I wrote some time ago about the time and effort we place on weld polishing and the difference it can make to the apperance of a metalwork piece. Well since then I discoverd how to load pictures on my Blog and I can now share more information with you. The picture shows a feature staircase in a hote lobby with frameless glass balustrade and stainless steel support brackets and glass fittings. The mildsteel elements have been mig welded and polished completely to give a nice even fillet to the joint. Much better looking!
