As I indicated earlier, we are currently involved in the manufacture and installation of a stainless steel staircase with frameless glass balustrades. We are about on third of the way there at the moment and here are some pictures of the progress to date.

This 3D drawing shows what the finished project will look like.

We mapped out the through shape and size on a full scale drawing on our workshop floor.

We then built it step by step with the use of lazer levels and lazer pointers.

It gets a bit more difficult as the height increases.

There is still another full flight to be added.

We are building it to a tolerence of 2mm which is pretty good for a piece this size. We are using 304 grade stainless steel and polishing the stringers to 240 grit satin polish finish. The total weight of stainless steel when complete will be over 3 tonnes.

Keep looking for the latest updates on this project.

We now have the fabrication element of the feature stainless steel and glass staircase complete. We have the toughened and laminated glass treads and balustrades ordered and we are heading to site for the installation in a few days.

We have the 304 grade stainless steel polished to a 240 grit satin finish giving a nice even sheen to the finished pieces.
I will keep you posted as we progress.

We are currently on 2 rather exciting projects incorporating glass. One is a balcony come canopy for a private house and the other is a stainless steel and glass staircase also for a private home. Using these two materials is not unusual but what is unusual is that we are bonding the glass to the metalwork and so eliminating any brackets, patch fittings and bolts etc. We are managing to assemble both projects without the use of what can be unsightly items.

There is not much to see yet but I will post more pictures later as we progress.

I got to share this with ye. Coming out of the factory last night, this is what lay before me. What a lovely country when the sunshines!

Enjoy the summer.
