Bespoke Glass Staircases & Bannisters
Architectural glass designed to transform internal spaces.
Bespoke Glass Staircases for Brighter, More Open Interiors
Bespoke glass staircases and bannisters create a cleaner, more open feel within a property, helping maximise natural light while providing safe, visually refined guarding for stairs, landings and mezzanine areas.
360 GSS designs, manufactures and installs made-to-measure glass staircase balustrades and bannister systems for homes, commercial interiors and larger developments. Every installation is engineered around the staircase layout, fixing conditions and intended finish to provide long-term stability, safety and a precise architectural appearance.
From frameless glass stair balustrades to systems combined with timber, stainless steel or bespoke structural steelwork, every installation is manufactured specifically for the project rather than adapted from standard components.

Staircase-Specific Design
Every staircase and bannister system is designed around the exact layout, dimensions, fixing conditions and structural requirements of the project.
Increased Light & Open Space
Glass bannisters allow natural light to move freely through stairwells, landings and adjoining rooms, helping interiors feel brighter, larger and less enclosed.
Built for Compliance
Glass, fixings and supporting elements are specified as one complete system, with structural calculations and technical documentation available where required to support Building Control or LABC approval.
Glass Staircase Options, Styles & Finishes
Every glass staircase and bannister system can be tailored around both the structural requirements of the staircase and the desired architectural finish.
Options include:
- Toughened and laminated safety glass
- Ultra-low-iron glass for enhanced clarity and reduced green tint
- Clear, frosted, acid-etched and sandblasted glass
- Tinted and coloured glass
- Frameless glass staircase balustrades
- Steel-supported staircase systems
- Powder-coated steelwork and stainless-steel components
- Timber, stainless-steel and powder-coated handrails
- Bespoke supporting steelwork where required
- Glass landing and mezzanine screens
Our Glass Staircase Process
STEP 1
Request a Quote
Share your staircase drawings, dimensions, photographs or project details so our team can assess the design and structural requirements and provide an initial quotation.
STEP 2
site survey & measure
A detailed site survey is carried out to confirm accurate dimensions, staircase structure, fixing conditions and installation requirements before the final system is specified.
STEP 3
DEPOSIT, Design & Engineering
Once approved, a 50% deposit secures your project before we finalise the glass specification, fixing details and any required structural calculations.
STEP 4
ManufacturING OF SYSTEM
Glass and structural components are manufactured specifically for your staircase, with bespoke steel fabrication completed in-house where required to ensure precise fit and quality control.
STEP 5
Install & completion
Our specialist installers fit and align the complete system, with careful attention to structural integrity, glass positioning and finish quality before final checks and handover.
Glass Staircases Engineered for Long-Term Performance
A glass staircase or bannister is a safety-critical installation that must provide reliable edge protection while maintaining the clean, open appearance that makes architectural glass so effective within an interior.
Our bespoke glass staircase systems are designed to:
- Meet appropriate structural and safety requirements for residential and commercial applications
- Provide secure fixing into the existing staircase or supporting structure
- Use an appropriate glass specification for the dimensions and application
- Maximise natural light with minimal visual obstruction
- Integrate cleanly with timber, steel and contemporary staircase designs
- Accommodate stairs, landings, galleries and mezzanine areas
- Deliver long-term durability with minimal maintenance
Where additional support is required, our team can also design and fabricate bespoke steel frames and structural components as part of the complete installation.

Are glass staircases and bannisters safe?
Yes. When correctly designed and installed, glass staircase balustrades use toughened or laminated safety glass and engineered fixings selected around the dimensions, structure and loading requirements of the staircase.
What type of glass is used for staircase balustrades?
Toughened and laminated safety glass can be used depending on the panel dimensions, fixing method and structural requirements of the installation.
Can glass bannisters be installed onto an existing staircase?
Yes. Many existing timber, steel and masonry staircases can be upgraded with made-to-measure glass panels, subject to the structure and fixing conditions being suitable.
Can wooden stair spindles be replaced with glass?
Yes. Replacing traditional timber spindles with glass is a popular way to modernise an existing staircase while increasing natural light and opening up views through the stairwell.
Do glass staircases require structural calculations?
Some installations do. Where required, 360 GSS can provide structural calculations and technical documentation to support the design and approval process.
Can you install frameless glass staircase balustrades?
Yes. Frameless and minimally framed glass systems can be designed where the staircase structure and fixing conditions allow.
Can glass be installed around landings and mezzanines?
Yes. Made-to-measure glass can continue across stairs, landings, galleries and mezzanines to create a consistent guarding system. Larger projects can also incorporate our bespoke glass balustrade systems.
Do you fabricate steel staircases and supporting steelwork?
Yes. 360 GSS fabricates structural steel components in-house and can also design, manufacture and install bespoke steel staircases where a project requires both glass and steel.
