Create a Striking First Impression with a Bespoke Staircases : Glass and Wooden Staircases
Posted: Dec 05, 2013
Your staircase is a key element of your home’s architectural design. More importantly, it is a reflection of your personal style and taste. Your choice of glass or wooden staircase allows you to make a dramatic, yet individual, visual statement which will significantly contribute to the character of your home.
Both wooden and glass staircases radically transform any hallway and will help to immediately set a distinct ambience.
Wooden Staircases
Staircases can be crafted from a wide range of timbers including Oak, Sapele, Pine, Hemlock, Ash, Whitewood & Southern Yellow Pine. The solid timber used to make wooden staircases is of the highest quality and is not engineered or laminated.
When designing your wooden staircase, one of the first decisions you will make is your choice of timber. The material your bespoke staircase is made from will give it a particular kind of charm. For instance, whilst darker timbers such as Sapele will give your wooden staircase a traditional feel, lighter woods like American White Oak will create an air of modern elegance.
Whereas some bespoke staircases are made from a single timber, using a mixture of different types of wood can create an unusual yet stylish aesthetic effect. Some customers choose to go a step further and combine classic woods with contemporary glass in their bespoke staircase.
Glass Staircases
Whilst wooden staircases are considered to be more traditional, in recent years, glass staircases have become increasingly popular. Glass staircases epitomise all that is modern and are visually, very attractive. They are perfect for those looking to give their home a distinctly modern and minimalist feel.
Due to their transparency, glass staircases maximise light distribution within a home. Consequently, glass staircases create the illusion of space within a hallway or landing.
Incorporating a toughened glass balustrade into your bespoke wooden staircase will create a striking combination of the sleek, contemporary glass with the classic warmth of the wooden treads.
Our expert designers will guide you through the process of planning and producing your bespoke staircase, from start to finish.
