This monumental stair is fabricated with two exposed structural steel stringers that have been finish painted. The treads are three inch thick laminated glass with half inch tempered glass guard rails attached to the stringers with stainless steel spider fittings. The hand rail is stainless steel with a #4 satin linear finish and attached to the glass with custom made stainless brackets. We used the utmost attention to detail fabricating this stair and rail. We ensured that all of the joints were fully welded and finished, and that the tempered glass rail panels were polished and mounted so that all of the polished edges were exposed.

It also includes a custom extruded bronze top cap. This rail has a #4 linear satin finish and is clear coated to preserve the design. Built at the Hearst Tower located in Charlotte, North Carolina.
This free standing spiral staircase in Cottontown, TN is constructed of wood with a ¼” metal plate sandwiched in between the layers of wood for structural support. It is then wrapped with Hickory Veneer and stained and finished. The rail and horizontal bar is made of solid bronze posts All of the bronze was oil rubbed for premature aging. The infill panels are made of solid steel with the patina finish applied to give the “gun barrel” appearance. The top rail is made of Hickory and rolled on a spiral to match the stairs. Spiral stairs such as these add so much uniqueness and the finished product is a true piece of art.
