This Guildford project involved the installation of a stunning floating glass staircase in a modern detached home. Designed to create a sense of space and light, the staircase combines oak treads, steel supports, and frameless glass balustrades for a sleek, contemporary look.
Brief:
The homeowner wanted a staircase that:
Felt light and open, without compromising safety or durability
Integrated modern materials into a traditional layout
Served as a visual centerpiece in the open-plan living space in front of large window
- spanned from a raised platform area to upper floor
Solution:
We supplied and installed a bespoke half-turn Model 500 staircase featuring:
Solid oak treads for warmth and texture
Steel stringers for minimal visual bulk and structural support
Frameless glass balustrades to maximise natural light from window behind
Open risers to enhance the floating effect
The staircase was carefully tailored to the home’s dimensions and interior design, delivering a light, airy appearance while remaining robust and functional.
Outcome:
The completed floating glass staircase is now a striking focal point in the Guildford home. Its open, contemporary design enhances the feeling of space, creates a bright interior, and showcases the homeowners’ modern aesthetic preferences.
