Completed by: Robert McVey Staircases
Project Duration: 6 weeks (On site installation 2 days)
Completion Date: 2024

Project Overview

Robert McVey Staircases recently undertook a comprehensive refurbishment project for a private residence in Warwickshire. The objective was to update a traditional staircase design, replacing it with a contemporary oak and rebated glass balustrade to enhance the aesthetic appeal and modernise the home’s interior.

Design and Installation

The refurbishment project centred around replacing the existing traditional balustrade with a sleek, modern oak and rebated glass design. This transformation not only revitalised the staircase but also brought a fresh, sophisticated look to the entire hallway.

Key features of the project include:

• Rebated Glass Balustrade: Custom-cut glass panels were expertly fitted into rebated grooves within the oak handrail and base rail. This technique ensures a secure fit and a streamlined appearance, eliminating the need for visible brackets or fastenings.
• Oak Framework: The new balustrade features premium-grade oak, selected for its strength and natural beauty. The oak was finished with a clear lacquer to highlight its grain and complement the transparency of the glass.
• Modern Aesthetic: The combination of the warm, natural tones of oak and the sleek, clear glass panels creates a contemporary look that enhances the light and space within the home.

Challenges and Solutions

A significant challenge was ensuring the precise fit of the rebated glass panels within the oak framework. Our team utilised advanced cutting and installation techniques to achieve perfect alignment, ensuring both safety and a flawless aesthetic.

Outcome

The refurbished staircase is a striking blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern design. The oak and rebated glass balustrade not only updates the look of the staircase but also improves the overall ambience of the residence, adding both elegance and value.

Client Feedback

The clients were extremely pleased with the outcome, highlighting the staircase’s new contemporary look and the meticulous craftsmanship involved. They commended the Robert McVey Staircases team for their professionalism and dedication to achieving a high-quality finish.
