In private homes or public buildings, glass staircases will always look amazing no matter what the setting is. But we find it particularly interesting when there’s a combination of materials, such as wood or concrete for the stairs and glass for the staircase wall. A very nice balance is created, don’t you think?
There are numerous of materials to choose from, although all-glass staircases are most impressive
Try glass railing to complement your already existing staircaseClear glass staircase walls are excellent if you wish to maintain and airy feelThe combination of glass and steel or wood is also a wonderful optionAlthough glass looks fragile, it’s very strong and safe
For example, because of its transparency, a glass staircase seems to float and also allows light to filter through. It’s very similar for glass walls as well. Glass staircase walls make excellent additions to old and historic structures which often include dark and gloomy spaces. The glass even allows architecture and design to come through and doesn’t block the views. These staircase walls are the perfect way to illuminate dark interiors and they’re excellent for homes with skylights.
