Glass Stairs

Specialist Glass Products Ltd.

Glass stairs or glass staircases are becoming more and more in vogue.  Specialist Glass produce glass components for glass staircase systems; i.e. glass stair treads and glass balustrade infill panels.

Glass stairtreads are generally manufactured using a combination of 10mm float and 25mm float, laminated together.  A non slip surface can be achieved in several ways, the most popular being an all over sandblast and ritec coat finish.  Another popular anti-slip preference is for grooves to be cut into the front edge of the tread. 

General guidance for floors and stairtreads
BS 6399: Part 1

Approximately 1mē is usually considered to be a practical maximum area for each panel - due to handling considerations.  The glasses should be installed with the thicker glass ply uppermost, and consideration must be given to the surface finish of the glass.

For more information or a quote on your glass stairs please call us on 01484 647744 or fax us on 01484 647755.
