The Concept of the finished Glass and Steel Stairs

We are hard at work on a sleek all-glass stair project with saw tooth stringers. We went through a four-month design and engineering process to come up with this configuration to satisfy the particular needs of the client. Construction of the steel frame in our shop is well under way, as you can see from the photo showing the project in process December 2017.

The pictured rendering was supplied by the client, showing how the ascending graceful curves will complement the space.  The structure will be powder-coated sky gray and will be installed in January. Treads will be 1-1/2” thick glass, with a special laminate process to have the lamination lines minimally visible. The railing will be curved glass panels, and the handrail will be polished stainless steel, showing how steel can achieve a light and sleek modern look.

This will be fully completed in Spring of 2017, and will be an absolute visual stunner in contemporary stairs!

Thanks to the Compass team. The original work that was done 12 years ago still looks great. Unfortunately, we had to remove the railings to install new pillars this year due to weather related issues with the stones. Compass removed the rails and reinstalled them after the repairs were done. All looks beautiful again.

We were thrilled to work with Compass again on our back porch project! The end result is gorgeous and the process was seem less. In a time characterized by delays, labor shortages and supply chain issues, Compass exceeded our expectations by providing a beautiful product and outstanding service in a timely manner. We look forward to working with Compass again in the future on all our metalwork needs.

Thank you so much again for your help!

Compass was very flexible when we changed our design. Quality was so wonderful, and unexpected.
We would never go to anyone else.

Amos, your team exceeded extremely high expectations. The stairs are the heart and soul of the house, and as the main focal point are a treasure to the owners and architect. Every visit is followed by “come see the stairs”. I know how challenging it was to build and install this masterpiece, having worked as a builder for 50 plus years, and admire how your crew stayed positive and focused throughout. I can’t wait for the next one!
