Freestanding stairs with Glass Railings
Glass railings are sleek and elegant and bring an upscale look to any design while also providing more light and openness to the area. They can be a beautiful complement to any style staircase. This stunning staircase is a Mountain Contemporary style, with an Industrial touch, in that the bolt heads and rivets are exposed in some places. 1/2" Low Iron glass panels were mounted between the posts with custom designed and custom machined square glass clamps. The freestanding open rise stairs are on 1/2" x 12" plate steel stringers. The block treads were made from actual European White Oak lumber that was imported from Europe and then wire brushed to accentuate the beautiful grain. All the steel, including the handrail, received a patina and bee's wax finish. This project was completed in White Pine, Park City, Utah, in a spectacular home constructed by Midway Construction, one of the best home builders out there!
