Using a Staircase Renovation to Refresh Your Home
At Abbott-Wade we understand the importance of the staircase. Not only does it serve as a functional part of your home, allowing you ascend and descend from one floor to the next, it is normally the first thing you see when you go through your front door. Because of this many homeowners take great pride in the appearance of their staircase.
Since the mid-1990s we have been setting the standards throughout various aspects of the staircase renovation industry. Nothing pleases us more than being able help homeowners to achieve the staircase look they desire. For in excess of 20 years we have provided a selection of staircase refurbishments in homes up and down the UK – we can even provide a new flight of stairs.
Before & After: Changing from spindles to embedded glass
One of the popular trends we have have seen over recent years is customers moving away from traditionally turned spindles in favour of glass. This is largely due to a desire to create a bright contemporary space within the heart of the home but there are practical implications to be considered too. The original staircase (pictured right) was painted white in an effort to lighten the hallway but the transformation to oak and glass adds the warming tones of oak with the open feeling of glass which allows unobstructed light to fill the hallway. The new 10mm toughened glass panels means there are no gaps between spindles to collect dust and the absence of glass clamps offers a more streamlined look. An added wall handrail makes a further safety feature while the new carpet injects colour with the stripes creating a further illusion of extra space.
Adding an Open Staircase to Your Home
Here at Abbott-Wade, we take great pride in being able to offer a massive selection of staircase styles and designs. Since our establishment in 1996 we have been at the forefront of the staircase renovation industry and are not going anywhere! The aim of our business is being able to help the redecoration of homes across the length and breadth of the country by refurbishing staircases or by providing a completely new flight of stairs.
As homeowners look to improve and freshen up their property, many opt for a bespoke design which opens up their hallway. We provide the open staircase which creates a free-flowing look without diminishing the functionality of the flight.
