If your staircase is looking a little dull, but you aren’t prepared to spend thousands on giving it an upgrade, there are plenty of ways you can bring it back to life without breaking the bank.

And glass is one of them.

Incorporating glass panels into your existing staircase design is a surefire way the breathe new life into your hallway, but how exactly can your home benefit from a glass staircase design?

Discover the top five advantages of glass staircases below!

     1. Improved lighting

The hallway is often one of the darkest areas of a property, which not only makes the space feel much smaller than it is but also makes it difficult – dangerous, even – to use.

Investing in glass staircase elements can help prevent this, as they help brighten up your space, reducing the need for artificial lighting, and making your hallway feel much more spacious!

     2. Elevated style

If your old apples and pears are a little outdated, incorporating glass is just one of the ways you can keep them on trend.

Glass pairs wonderfully with a range of materials, so no matter if you choose to replace your old spindles and handrail with floor-to-ceiling glass panels, or go all out with glass treads and risers, you’re guaranteed to be able to create a look you love, that looks great with the rest of your home’s décor.

    3. Enhanced safety

When considering glass for their staircase, many homeowners express concerns they have regarding safety.

However, being made from toughened glass, you can be confident that this is one of the safest choices for your home, and that it won’t shatter or break under pressure.

As well as this, the light pooling through the windows and through your hallways, your stairs are much more visible – reducing the risk of slips, trips and falls.

     4. Easy maintenance

Glass panels are super easy to maintain, and all they require is a quick clean once a week, along with other glass furnishings around your home, to look their absolute best.

Simply wipe down the glass with a soft, microfibre cloth that’s been dampened with warm, soapy water – adding a touch of lemon juice for any particularly stubborn stains – and buff it dry with a clean cloth.

      5. Unrestricted views

Let’s face it.

An old, worn-out staircase is nothing but an eyesore and really takes away from the rest of your interior.

Whether you’ve just had a stunning new carpet fitted, or redecorated your hall and landing spaces, the last thing you need is your staircase getting in the way.

With glass, there are no obstacles between your line of sight and the rest of your décor, you’ll be able to see and show off everything as you intended.
