■ Glass Staircases ■ Lincoln ■ August 2024 Powder Coat · RAL 9005 JET BLACK
This frameless glass staircase balustrade was installed alongside an open oak tread staircase at a residential property in Lincoln. The brief was to add a compliant guarding system without interrupting the open, structural character of the oak treads.
17.5mm toughened and laminated glass was specified. Laminated glass is the standard choice for staircase balustrades where the glass panel is the primary guarding element — if the panel is struck hard enough to crack, the PVB interlayer prevents the glass collapsing into the stairwell.
The panels are fixed to the staircase string using stainless steel standoff buttons — one at the top of each panel and one at the base. The buttons hold the glass proud of the string face, creating the floating-glass appearance. Each standoff was individually positioned to account for the angle of the staircase, so the glass panels align consistently through the full run.
A continuous black powder-coated handrail was fitted along the top edge of the glass. Black was chosen to contrast with the pale oak treads rather than disappear into them, and the continuous profile runs uninterrupted from the newel at the bottom of the staircase to the landing above.
