Balustrades are important for all staircases, as they provide a barrier that will prevent you from falling down the stairs. But, while they serve a useful purpose, they can look really good in any stairwell or around your house. There are many different styles of stair balustrades that you can choose from. There are three main materials that are often used in stairway balustrades: steel, timber and glass. If you are having a new stairway installed, then we can supply and install the handrails.

Frameless Glass Balustrade stairs are a fantastic way to enhance your existing home or create a unique feature in a new build. A very popular and seamless way to add glass balustrades to staircases is to have them placed side by side. Stainless steel stands secure the glass to the outside of the tread or step in order that it will not damage the wooden part of the stairs. We use stainless steel spigots or 304 stainless steel core drilled or surface mounted spigots, which are very cost effective.
