Bespoke staircase transformations for Swords homes. Bespoke glass bannisters, glass stair panels and internal glass balustrades measured and installed for a cleaner, brighter staircase.
Made-to-measure glass
Whether the aim is to modernise an existing bannister or rethink the full staircase, we combine measured glass with experienced joinery for a crisp finished result.
Every staircase has slightly different angles, junctions and handrail details, so accurate surveying matters. The design is resolved around the existing stair geometry so the finished work looks made for the property rather than adapted from a generic system.
For work in Swords, we use the initial photo enquiry to understand the layout, then confirm dimensions and fixing details at survey stage.
