Made-to-measure glass
Replace dated spindles with made-to-measure glass.
We focus on proportion, light and detail so the new staircase feels integrated with the home rather than added as an afterthought.
A clean glass installation depends as much on the existing joinery as it does on the glass itself. We keep the specification practical as well as visual, choosing details that can be installed cleanly and maintained easily in everyday use.
For a Howth enquiry, clear photos are usually enough for us to understand the starting point before arranging a measured survey.

Designed with the area — and the individual home — in mind.

Popular glass upgrades
What we can change in a Howth 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 Howth project.
Straightforward answers to the questions homeowners usually ask before starting a staircase project.
Do you install glass bannisters and glass stair panels in Howth?
Yes. Celtic Glass provides made-to-measure glass bannister, glass balustrade and stair-panel upgrades in Howth. 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 Howth 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 Howth 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.
How soon can you survey a staircase in Howth?
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 Howth?
Yes. Alongside Howth, we cover Sutton, Clontarf, Malahide and other locations across the wider Dublin service area.
