Made-to-measure glass
Replace dated spindles with made-to-measure glass.
We work around the existing staircase to create a cleaner visual line, using made-to-measure glass and experienced joinery to bring the whole space together.
A good glass upgrade starts with the proportions of the existing staircase, not a standard panel size. We look for a finish that feels calm and well integrated with the hallway, keeping fixings, lines and transitions visually simple.
For a Rathfarnham enquiry, clear photos are usually enough for us to understand the starting point before arranging a measured survey.
Local to Rathfarnham
Designed with the area — and the individual home — in mind.
Rathfarnham has many mature family homes and period properties around the village, Ballyroan and Terenure side. Where original timber details are worth keeping, we can often introduce glass selectively rather than stripping all of the character from the staircase.

Popular glass upgrades
What we can change in a Rathfarnham home.
Some homeowners ask for glass bannisters, others for glass balustrades or glass stair panels. We focus on the actual staircase and recommend the cleanest way to achieve the look.
Glass stair panels
Specify glass panels around the stair angle, landing and fixing points rather than relying on generic dimensions.
Internal glass balustrades
Create a more open hallway and landing while retaining a finish that suits the surrounding joinery.
Full glass + timber upgrade
Combine new glass with replacement handrails or newel posts when the existing timberwork needs more attention.

Glass Bannisters FAQs
Questions about your Rathfarnham project.
Straightforward answers to the questions homeowners usually ask before starting a staircase project.
Do you install glass bannisters and glass stair panels in Rathfarnham?
Yes. Celtic Glass provides made-to-measure glass bannister, glass balustrade and stair-panel upgrades in Rathfarnham. We can assess straightforward spindle-to-glass conversions as well as more involved staircase and landing layouts.
Can you replace existing spindles with glass in a Rathfarnham home?
Often, yes. We first inspect the existing handrail, newel posts and stair geometry to determine what can be retained and how the glass should be fixed and proportioned.
What should I send for an initial Rathfarnham quote?
Send wide photos showing the full staircase plus closer images of the handrail, newel posts and landing. That is usually enough for an initial review before a detailed measured survey at the property.
Is the glass made to measure for my staircase?
Yes. Final panel sizes are based on measurements taken for your individual staircase, including its angles, spacing and junction details.
What happens after I request a quote in Rathfarnham?
After the initial photo review we will explain the likely scope and next step. Survey timing depends on current workload and location, and we will confirm availability when we respond to your enquiry.
Can you keep my existing timber handrail?
If the existing joinery is suitable, it may be possible to retain and adapt it. Where the timberwork needs more attention, we can also discuss complete bannister remodelling rather than forcing a glass-only solution.
Which nearby areas do you cover from Rathfarnham?
Yes. Alongside Rathfarnham, we cover Tallaght, Sandyford, Dublin City and other locations across the wider Dublin service area.
