These stairs span over three floors and each level is cantilevered on two central spine beams; lack of risers and see-thru glass landings allow for plenty of natural light to travel throughout the open stairwell and into the adjacent open areas; 3 1/2" white oak treads and stringers were manufactured by our craftsmen under strict quality control standards, and were delivered and installed by our experienced technicians.

This particular client wanted a clean, neutral, sleek, transitional look to fit their professional lifestyles. The strategy was to have a neutral base, but buy several different groupings of decor and pillows to easily change the look of the room with out buying new furnishings. The art over the fireplace was chosen because of the variety of color in the picture. This was a good foundational piece to derive many different color schemes from. Andy McRory Photography

There's a time and place for everything, including glass stair treads. The goal was to allow as much light into the space as possible; what we didn't expect is how visually connected the three story house became as a result of this transparency.

With an obscure glass staircase you won't have to worry about privacy underneath and you get the benefit of moving light to lower levels of the home as well!

This is one of our signature stair designs. The stainless stringers are out of this world as far as looks and exclusivity. No one has 4"x12" stainless steel tube stringers. The glass treads are 3 layers of 1/2" thick clear tempered panels, laminated to a thickness of over 1-1/2". The stairs are made to accept many different types of stair treads. We can easily replace the glass with Metal, Wood, Stone, Granite, Marble, and Precast Concrete, The stainless railing with the glass panels just make the whole thing work.

Glass Staircase Design Ideas

A staircase isn’t just a structural element that links two floors – it can also help define your style, make a statement, and turn your entryway into a grand entrance. There are a growing range of materials and staircase designs to cater to your personal style and the size of your space. Here are some quick tips to consider while browsing images of staircase designs on Houzz.

What type of staircase works best for me?

The first consideration when planning a stair design is space. A double-sided staircase, for instance, will only work in a large area; whereas an L-shaped staircase or straight staircase are more compact options. The next step in the stair design is deciding on a style. Elliptical or curved stairs offer elegance, while spiral stairs can appear more urban. If you want a contemporary design, floating stairs are a great way to circulate light.

What balustrade and handrail options are available?

Balustrades and handrails are important for safety but also allow you to get creative with your stair design. Many staircases are built up against a wall – if that’s the case, the wall itself can act as a balustrade; it will just need an attached handrail. Glass balustrades are great if you want to show off your staircase as an architectural feature, whereas a timber balustrade tends to be a more timeless option. Metal balustrades are versatile in that they can be industrial, elegant or quirky. Consider functionality, too, especially if you have kids. An open railing, for instance could become a safety hazard.

What type of material should I use for stair treads?

Timber stair treads are strong and timeless, but aren’t suited to those with indoor pets as they’ll show up scuffs. Carpeted or stone stair treads are more traditional options, whereas stainless steel and glass can be quite contemporary. Concrete stair treads are increasingly popular for those looking to create a sculptural masterpiece out of their staircase – just imagine the effect of floating concrete stairs, daringly cantilevered. Also consider using a combination of materials to create visual interest.
