Glass Floors, Stairs and Balustrades
Structural glass floors provide the designer with a fantastic opportunity to project natural daylight to the core of a building. Manufactured from laminated glass panels, the top surface sandblasting can be applied in almost limitless designs and patterns and whilst incorporating tinted glass or coloured interlayer designers are given incredible freedom of expression.
The glass panels are supported on painted steel frames or can be bolted or bonded to glass beams or fins.
Glass stairs can be supported with painted steel or stainless steel structures or can be detailed as complete glass structures with treads and landings bolted or bonded to stringers and handrails.
Freestanding cantilever balustrades utilise toughened glass and can be set into rebates in concrete, fabricated steel or aluminium extrusions. Handrails can be provided in various profiles and be manufactured from timber, brass, aluminium or stainless steel and are fixed to the top edge of the glass.
Our more conventional in-fill balustrades can be provided with a range of methods for fixing the glass to the vertical or horizontal posts or rails. Fixing can be in the form of channels, clamps, nuts and bolts countersunk systems or special cast stainless steel brackets and bolts.
