Project of the Month - May 2026 – Glass Staircase in Haywards Heath barn conversion
Our client recently purchased a plot just outside Haywards Heath, West Sussex, which included a barn and some outbuildings.
The plan was to transform it into a family home. After visiting our showroom, the client fell in love with the model 500 staircase, which ticked all the boxes.
It would sit in the living room, leading up to a bridge walkway beside a large window, so allowing light to pass through was essential. The open risers and glass balustrade of the model 500 made it ideal.
Matching balustrades were needed along both sides of the bridge, featuring vertical stainless newels, an oak handrail, and 10mm toughened glass panels. The staircase itself had a quarter turn with winding treads and, being free-standing, required the same balustrade on both sides.
Oak treads complemented the barn’s oak beams, while full-height glass risers ensured building regulation compliance.
The steelwork was powder-coated white to blend seamlessly with the interior walls.
