It is not often that we have a client that expresses a desire for our custom Glass Stair Treads for a Spiral Staircase.
This is perhaps the MOST SPECTACULAR project we have ever undertaken.
If pictures are worth 1000 words, then here’s the easiest blog read you will ever have…enjoy. The effect of walking in to this home, and seeing the luminous Glass Stair Treads front and center is mesmerizing. Our glass bar tops are a spectacle as well, but the glass treads illuminated dominate the visual space in a way that we have never seen.
Glass stair treads, coupled with glass railings and landings are a must-see-to-believe architectural feature for your home.
I can verify that walking on these glass stairs treads is like walking on a cloud…its a real joy…especially at night where the LED lights create a stunning visual…a real statement piece unlike any we have ever seen.
There is precedent for such an ethereal design. In his TED talk, Ross Lovegrove discusses his DNA-1 staircase project installed in his design studio. Says Ross humorously: “It’s a single element, there is virtually no handrail, you wouldn’t want to have a fear of heights coming down it…it doesn’t pass any safety standards…but who cares?!?! “
In our project we partnered with a client in St Petersburg, FL to remodel his home. The spiral staircase was dated but well-built, and we used its existing wood stringers to support our 1.5” thick textured glass treads. The client also updated his railing system with Curved Glass Creations.
We have created glass stairs with stainless steel as the staircase material and the result was equally spectacular. The staircase material, railing system, and glass stair tread combinations are limitless.
We partner with skilled staircase designers, metal-fabrication shops and architects to make the process simple and straightforward.
We have also completed a beautifully illuminated staircase in Hollywood where the glass stair treads were illuminated with LEDs. Click here for the video.
