Bespoke Glass and Steel Staircases, Designed Around Your Home

The combination of glass and steel creates one of the most striking staircase pairings in modern interior design, balancing the cool precision of engineered metal with the light, airy feel of clear or low-iron glass. At Jarrods, we design and build bespoke glass and steel staircases that turn what could be a purely functional structure into a genuine architectural feature. Slim steel stringers in powder-coated black or polished stainless are paired with frameless glass balustrades, frosted infill panels, or, where the design calls for it, full glass treads suspended from a steel spine.

The result is a staircase that opens up the space around it, draws natural light through landings and hallways, and feels at home in contemporary properties and renovated period homes alike. If you are weighing up options, our team can talk through which configuration will suit your property, and you can get in touch to arrange an initial design visit.

Materials & Finishes

Every bespoke metal staircase is completed with carefully selected materials and finishes that enhance both its appearance and long-term durability. From imported Italian wrought-iron to sleek stainless steel, each option is chosen to complement your home’s architecture and interior style.

Italian wrought-iron

Using wrought-iron imported from Italy, we can create spindles in a curved, straight or twisted design. This adds character to your living space and works well with both contemporary and traditional designs.

Powder coating

Powder coating is a dry finishing process that fuses dry powder to the surface of the metal. This creates a smooth, long-lasting surface that resists scratches and fading, keeping your staircase in great condition for years to come.

Paint

Painted metal spindles allow for a truly customised look as you can choose from a wide selection of colours to match your interior decor. The painted finish also protects the metal surface, making it a practical choice for both modern and classic staircases.

Glass

With a range of glass styles available, offering the opportunity to open the staircase up to maximum light, combined with stainless steel rails, for the most contemporary homes.

Stainless steel

Stainless steel is a great option if you’re looking for more of a sleek, shiny design. It’s often used as a handrail material, and stainless steel baubles can also be used as a decorative element on newel posts for a refined, modern touch.

Premium Materials

We carefully select materials that combine strength with beauty. Stainless steel provides a polished, reflective quality that brightens interiors, while glass panels open up spaces by allowing light to flood in. If you’re looking for something truly unique, we can blend solid hardwoods like oak, walnut, or sapele with elegant metal detailing – creating a staircase that’s full of character and perfectly suited to your home.
