Watch: Tour a New Open Tread Oak Staircase with Glass Spindles

A New Open Tread Oak Staircase with Glass Spindles & Glass Risers

The Mansfield family were delighted with their new staircase which uses clever glass down stands to comply with UK building regulation. This allows increased air and light flow between the treads. The polished edges of the 10mm glass spindles reflect and refract light projecting a slightly different appearance as the light levels change throughout the day.

Self Isolating? On Lock-Down? Tired of the same 4 walls? Tired of the same old staircase?

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

The nation is locked down – and quite rightly. If like us you’re already feeling cooped up and tired of staring at the same four walls, you might have also started noticing all the little jobs that need doing around the house (like that peeling wallpaper in the corner of the bedroom or the loose handle on the kitchen cabinet) and you’re probably also thinking of those bigger jobs like which rooms are in need of decorating and that tired old staircase you’ve not been happy with since 1996. Maybe it’s dark and dated or there are annoying drip marks in the paint. Maybe there’s a few loose spindles you’ve only just noticed because you’re stuck at home all day…again. And don’t forget the dent in the newel post and the scratches from when the plumber dented it 5 years ago getting a new bath up the stairs.

Watch: Climbing the stairs of the Eiffel Tower, Paris

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Measuring 324 metres tall (including antennas) and weighing 10,100 tonnes, the Eiffel Towers is one of the worlds most iconic structures despite the fact that when built 130 years ago it was only intended to stand for 20 years before being dismantled.

Today the tower welcomes 7 million people a year – many of which naturally ascend the tower in the lifts which travel a combined distance of 103,000 km a year which is equivalent to two and a half times the circumference of the Earth!

Alternatively, if you’ve got a head for heights and the legs for it you can climb the 1,665 steps instead…or you let someone else do it for you and just watch the video below.

Painted Risers

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Risers should rise to the occasion!

A staircase riser is the vertical, forward facing front of the stairs closing the gap between each tread. For many staircases this will be hidden beneath carpet but it doesn’t have to be. As part of our bespoke service, your staircase will be what you want it to be and our prefinished service means the messy work is all done for you!
