Here are some images of some uses for glass where light is a necessary to the floor beneath. In the first example we placed a mildsteel frame which was lazer cut and so looked rather unique from underneath in the floor void and then placed the toughened and laminated glass into this frame.
In the second example our client required access into a room without the requirement of a full floor area and so we manufactured and glass floored bridge complete with glass balustrade.


Both examples are very different but the requirements were similar. The use of glass in both results in magnificant metalwork pieces. Remember once some planning is done early anything is possible.

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.
Regards, Martin

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.

Since I discoverd the means to load pictures onto my Blog I’ve decided to show you some of our completed projects from time to time. We are very proud of the work we do and quality is the most important aspect of our work, then of course payment.

This picture shows some frameless glass balustrade with a stainless steel handrail fixed to the side of the glass. When done properly the results are fantastic.
