Trends are evolving all the time as people get more and more creative with their interior design, and this has been marked by the rise in popularity of the glass staircase. Not considered a glass staircase before? They come with a host of benefits – come and see for yourself…
A range of designs
During the process of installing your dream staircase, it is understandable to jump straight to the exciting part of working out the best design for your home before considering any logistics. With glass staircases from Abbott-Wade, we are able to bring you a wide range of designs that are sure to add a contemporary look to your living space. These include:
- Frameless glass – For an ultra-modern, streamlined look, a pane of frameless glass acting as your balustrade could be the option for you. Style doesn’t compromise safety, so there’s no need to worry – these thickened glass panes provide the same strength as a traditional handrail.
- Glass spindles – If you want to make your staircase really unique, look no further than glass spindles. Great for creating a bright and spacious design.
- Optiwhite low iron glass – A refreshing alternative to other types of glass, this pane variety has a practically colourless cast, as opposed to green. This ensures that it works fantastically well with a white handrail, creating a ‘barely there’ look that maximises natural light and compliments any interior design thanks to its colourless design.
Ability to work with any material
The versatility of a glass staircase is one of the main reasons it has cemented its place in people’s minds as a contender for a contemporary home. Glass staircase panels combine perfectly with almost any material to create a truly personalised look.
For example, glass makes a smart addition to an oak wood staircase, bringing a more traditional staircase up to date. It also pairs well with stainless steel to create a wonderfully modern finish – take a look for yourself.

A glass staircase can reinvigorate a home and provide it with natural light that completely changes its complexion. Glass spindles or panes allow natural light to flow freely through you home, helping to transforms it’s appearance.
