Replace spindles with glass
Remove dated timber spindles and introduce made-to-measure glass panels while retaining suitable existing handrails and newel posts.

Dublin · Bespoke staircase specialists
Made-to-measure glass bannisters, glass stair panels and internal glass balustrades for Dublin homes — including clean spindle-to-glass conversions.
Celtic Glass Dublin
Replacing traditional timber spindles with made-to-measure toughened glass can open up the staircase, improve light flow and give the hallway a much more contemporary finish. We also design glass stair panels and internal glass balustrade upgrades around the existing staircase.
We survey the existing handrail, newel posts, landing and stair angles before specifying each panel. That means the glass is made for the staircase rather than forcing the staircase to suit a standard panel.
Dublin remains our primary service area, with projects also undertaken across Wicklow, Kildare, Meath, Westmeath and Louth — from Wicklow Town and Naas through Navan and Mullingar to Drogheda and Dundalk.
Common glass staircase upgrades
Whether you call it a glass bannister, glass balustrade or glass stair panel, the important part is that it is measured, specified and fitted correctly for your staircase.
Remove dated timber spindles and introduce made-to-measure glass panels while retaining suitable existing handrails and newel posts.
Internal glass balustrades and staircase panels designed around the stair angle, landing and fixing details for a clean, open finish.
Survey, supply and fitting handled as one process, with the final glass sizes confirmed from the individual staircase.
If the existing timber is not worth retaining, we can combine the glass with new handrails, posts and joinery as part of a fuller remodel.

What the service includes
Cost & quotation
There is no useful one-price-fits-all figure because the cost depends on the existing staircase and the scope of the change.
Fastest route to a useful estimate: send clear photos from the bottom, top and landing, plus your location. We can then understand the likely scope before arranging a measured survey.

Glass Bannisters Dublin
Straightforward answers to the questions homeowners usually ask before starting a staircase project.
The price depends on the staircase layout, the number and size of glass panels, whether the existing handrail and newel posts can be retained, the landing detail and the glass specification. Send clear photos from the bottom, top and landing and we can usually give an initial project indication before survey.
Often, yes. Replacing wooden spindles with made-to-measure glass panels is one of the most common upgrades we assess. We inspect the existing handrail, newel posts and staircase geometry first so the new glass is integrated cleanly.
Homeowners use both terms. On an internal staircase, glass bannisters, glass balustrades and glass stair panels can all refer to glass used as the guarding or infill around the stairs and landing. We focus on the right specification for the actual staircase.
Yes. We survey the staircase, confirm the panel sizes and fixing details, arrange the made-to-measure glass and complete the installation. The exact scope depends on whether the existing timberwork is being retained or replaced.
The glass specification is selected to suit the individual installation and guarding requirements. We use made-to-measure safety glass and confirm the appropriate thickness and fixing approach after survey.
If the existing joinery is sound and suitable, it may be possible to retain and adapt it. If the timberwork is dated or unsuitable, we can also discuss a fuller staircase renovation rather than forcing a glass-only solution.
Installation time varies with the staircase, landing and amount of preparation required. After the measured survey and specification are agreed, we can explain the likely manufacturing and fitting programme for your project.
Yes. Dublin is our main service area, with projects also undertaken across Wicklow, Kildare, Meath, Westmeath and Louth, including Wicklow Town, Naas, Navan, Mullingar, Drogheda and Dundalk.
