Client: Private Residence, Hinckley, Leicestershire
Completed by: Robert McVey Staircases
Completion Date: 2024

Project Overview

Robert McVey Staircases recently completed a stunning staircase renovation for a private residence in Hinckley, Leicestershire. The project aimed to transform a dated staircase into a sleek, modern centrepiece that enhances the overall aesthetic of the home.

Design and Installation

The renovation involved the installation of a bespoke glass balustrade set within precision-cut grooves to achieve a streamlined, contemporary look. The use of glass panels not only creates a sense of openness and light but also provides a striking contrast to the rich, natural oak framework.

Key features of the project include:

• Glass Balustrade: Custom-made glass panels were installed seamlessly into grooves within the oak handrail and base rail, eliminating the need for brackets or clamps. This meticulous detail ensures a clean, uninterrupted line that enhances the modern aesthetic.
• Oak Framework: The staircase features high-quality oak, known for its durability and timeless appeal. The oak components were treated with a clear finish to highlight the wood’s natural beauty and grain, complementing the glass elements perfectly.
• Cap Detail: A small, elegant cap detail was added to the newel posts, providing a subtle yet sophisticated finishing touch that ties the entire design together.

Challenges and Solutions

One of the primary challenges was ensuring the precise alignment and secure fitting of the glass panels within the grooves. Our dedicated craftsmen employed advanced measuring and cutting techniques to guarantee exact fits, ensuring both safety and aesthetic excellence.

Outcome

The completed staircase is a testament to Robert McVey Staircases’ commitment to quality craftsmanship and innovative design. The combination of oak and glass creates a modern, elegant staircase that significantly enhances the home’s interior, adding both value and visual appeal.

Client Feedback

The clients expressed their delight with the finished staircase, particularly praising the sleek design and the seamless integration of the glass balustrade. They appreciated the professionalism and attention to detail demonstrated by the Robert McVey Staircases team throughout the project.
