Modern Staircases

The modern staircase is fast becoming the most popular addition to a home being updated or renovated, a hardwood varnished stairs with glass balustrade being the most attractive and soughtafter design. The ability of a staircase to transform from an overcrowded hall way or open plan lounge in to a light and attractive feature of the house is the magic that can be done.
 
The combination of wooden stair tread, glass balustrade and stainless steel handrail is also a very popular choice, with the light coming through the glass and open stair treads this design keeps the space open and clean.
 
Some of our clients, wanted an open plan staircase design that fitted with the traditional style of the house, in this case we came up with a wooden staircase carpeted with glass balustrade and wooden
handrail and posts at the top and bottom of the staircase, with light oak as the bare timber component this blended in well with the natural look and feel of the home while allowing the extra light through the glass giving the open plan feel as well.
