Spiral Staircase Pontefract

The Brief

The client had a challenging brief for this project. They wanted a full size modern style staircase to access the main part of their home but also wanted to minimise its footprint and feeling of scale, whilst creating a wow factor

The Solution

A straight staircase was out of the question due to the extent that it would encroach into the room. The free-standing nature of such a staircase would also make support difficult and its appearance feel heavy, and a normal spiral staircase would restrict the passage of light.

Our answer was to propose our Model 76 glass spiral staircase. The system provides the size and strength required to be specified as a main access stair whilst the glass treads and balustrade optimise the flow of light through the staircase. The toughened laminated treads also mean that the treads are strong enough to support the same use as a traditional residential staircase, allowing the customer to carry out tasks such as moving furniture up and down it. Whilst the impressive, curved glass balustrade adds style to the staircase, it’s specification as safety glass makes it every bit as safe as a traditional spindle balustrade.

Project Recap

• Main staircase size and usability required whilst minimizing physical footprint and aesthetic impact.
• Maximise passage of light.
• Modern appearance.
• Safe and practical for all to use

Summary

The client was delighted with the end result. Not only did they feel that they had a very practical and usable staircase, but were particularly pleased with how we were able to create such a modern aesthetic with minimal impact in the room. They were also very happy with the flow of light through the staircase.
