Bespoke Contemporary Glass Staircases for Modern Homes

A contemporary glass staircase is one of the most effective ways to bring a sense of openness, light and quiet luxury into a modern home. By stripping back the traditional balustrade and replacing it with sleek toughened glass, the staircase becomes a near-invisible structure that lets the rest of the interior breathe. At Jarrods, we design and install bespoke contemporary glass staircases that pair full-height glass panels with minimal fixings, slimline handrails and beautifully finished timber treads.

From clean inline balustrades that follow the natural line of the staircase through to fully frameless glass spans without visible brackets, every detail is engineered for both safety and aesthetic precision. Our team will help you decide on the right balance of glass, timber and metal finishes to suit your interior, whether you are working on a new staircase, a full renovation or a single statement update. To explore the options for your home, get in touch to arrange a design consultation. You can also browse examples of our work in our image gallery.

Elegant Sophistication

Handcrafted, wrought-iron metal stair spindles are the epitome of classic elegance, carrying the kind of detail and weight that only true hand-finishing can achieve.

With a huge range of designs and styles to choose from, we can help you create a unique staircase that matches the rest of the period features within your home perfectly, whether that means picking up on cornicing, panelled doors, or original fireplaces. Every detail is considered at the design stage, from the thickness of the spindles to the profile of the newel posts and the stain on the treads, so the finished staircase feels like a natural extension of the property rather than a later addition imposed upon it.

Materials & Finishes

At our family-run business, every bespoke contemporary glass staircase is completed with carefully selected materials and finishes that enhance both its appearance and long-term durability. From low-iron toughened glass to brushed stainless steel handrails and minimal frameless fixings, each option is chosen to complement your home's architecture and interior style.

Crystal Clear Glass

Sophisticated and elegant, crystal clear glass is a great option for your balustrade. Perfect for a minimalist aesthetic, this allows light to flow freely and showcases the design of your staircase.

Tinted Glass

Tinted glass is the best of both worlds. You can choose a shade that fits well with the style of your home, offering privacy and warmth without sacrificing natural light. You can even match the colour to the colour of your newels or handrails.

Coloured Glass

With coloured glass risers, you can make a striking statement. This is ideal for adding a bit of personality and vibrance to your home and you can pick colours that complement or contrast your current colour scheme.

Frosted Glass

Much like tinted glass, frosted glass adds a layer of privacy while still allowing natural light to filter through. It has a soft, translucent finish and textured surface which diffuses light, creating a serene atmosphere.

Cracked Ice Glass

If you want to make your glass staircase a centrepiece of your home, a cracked ice finish can be a great option. It offers a stunning visual texture, resembling the intricate pattern of ice. This design plays with light, creating different reflections throughout the day.

With Oak Handrails

Combining glass risers with oak handrails and newel posts can add a bit of natural warmth to your home. This combines the contemporary glass with something more classic.

With Stainless Steel Handrails

For a contemporary, industrial look, you can combine the glass risers with stainless steel handrails and newel posts. Steel is the ideal finishing touch and can add a slightly cooler tone to the overall design.
