Should You Choose a Glass Staircase over a Wooden One?

When you purchase a new home or begin remodeling your current home, one of the most overlooked areas is the staircase, according to Daryn Weatherman. It may be because we often don’t think twice about the impact that our staircase has in our home, but if you choose the right design and material it can be one of the most attractive parts of your entire home.

Daryn Weatherman and the experts and St. Charles Glass and Glazing explain to customers that one of the first things they will notice when looking at glass staircase designs, is that they are surprisingly strong and durable. Glass staircases can last just as long as wood and in some cases even longer because of the advances that have been made in the production and cutting of glass. Another benefit to choosing a glass staircase is that you will not be required to perform some of the upkeep and maintenance that is required of wooden staircases. When you take the appropriate care with your glass staircase, you will likely not have to repair or replace it for years, if ever.

Another benefit for homeowners, who choose glass over wood, is that glass is easier to clean and maintain than wood stairs. It has been shown that a glass staircase generally doesn’t accumulate as much dust as a wooden staircase does which means that you will be doing less cleaning, which is always a good thing. A proper cleaning should only require spot cleaning and should only take minutes.

Many homeowners who are adding or replacing a new staircase to their home often choose glass over wood because of the visual appeal that glass offers. Daryn Weatherman also states that when you are considering choosing a glass staircase that you carefully evaluate how the design will work with your existing home design. However, a glass staircase will provide you with many different design options that you could include in your home. When designing with glass you will not have to choose furniture that matches your wooden staircase or choose colors that will complement the stain on your stairs. Glass can provide you endless design potential.

Although the cost of installing a custom glass staircase may seem more expensive than wood initially, you should consider that glass offers more durability and strength than wood. Because glass staircases also tend to last longer than wood, you will not be required to replace them or repair them within years. They are also time saving because they are easy to clean and maintain, you won’t spend an entire weekend polishing your glass staircase like you would a wood one. There are many benefits to installing a glass staircase that you should consider.
