Hello, dear friends!
We'll speak about the glass staircase in the country house.
Today, many people have country houses, and besides, everyone wants the interior of their private home to be calm, comfortable and beautiful.
Incredibly many exquisite elements can create a special atmosphere, so also a staircase made of glass can transform a boring environment many times. After all, it is unusual from the very beginning and not as we used to see in such a country house.
Stairs made of glass began to appear in the interior recently, but for a relatively short period of its existence, they began to be considered one of the most unusual and bold decisions for such a design. Thus wishing to get a glass staircase for today there are more and more.
Even though the glass staircases were originally made to impress and installed almost only in entertainment public places (cafes, restaurants, bars, etc.) to show their respectability, today such an element is well received by the owners of country cottages.
Popularity, of course, came to this design for a reason, because the glass stairs have a large number of advantages:
1. The very first positive feature of such a staircase, which is highly valued by many - is transparency, because this quality allows you to feel soaring, weightless.
2. To the second positive feature can be attributed aesthetic appearance - stairs made of glass, look more compact, elegant and less bulky than stairs made of wood, metal or stone. Through such design light easily passes through, without shading the space in the room.
3. The third positive quality is that even despite the seeming fragility and fineness, glass staircases are very strong, because for their manufacture they use special glass, not all the usual thin glass.
For stairs use either a special shockproof glass coated with a laminating layer or a special transparent triplex. Triplex is a material that consists of several thin glass layers, fixed with a polymeric film.
Its main advantage is that it can withstand a very high load, and if the triplex accidentally breaks - it will be safe, as there will be no fragments.
A glass staircase must have a rough-surface step to ensure complete safety, to prevent slipping and to ensure complete safety for climbing and descending the staircase.
If there is a desire to get such an elegant staircase, then today it will not be a big problem, the more so such an element can have a completely different size, configuration, shape, finish, decoration elements and so on.
Сertainly, glass stairs, as well as stairs made of other materials are of different varieties:
- is a normal staircase,
- spiral staircase,
- combined,
- assembled according to an individual project.
They can be combined with a wide variety of materials.
Their mainframe can be metal or they can be made of concrete, or they can be used for this purpose in wood or a combination of materials, for example, a bearing structure made of metal and a railings made of wood.
Glass staircases can even be "flying" or, in other words, when stairs are made of a larger volume and mounted deep into the wall. In this case, the load will be fully directed to the point fixings to the wall, and the steps themselves will not be supported by the frame, thus having a void underneath them.
A glass staircase may also include only glass staircase steps or most of the glass elements (railing, skirting board, fencing, etc.) may be made.
Also, it is possible to make a transparent staircase or painted in some dim matte color. Transparent steps will allow you to feel the total weightlessness during the descent and ascent of the stairs, but matte steps will look exquisitely in the interior, creating the illusion of frozen in the air colored rectangles.
It is allowed to apply glass carving or patterned coating in the form of flowers or other ornaments in the design of glass stairs. If possible, it is possible to insert stained-glass windows into the ornament.
It is necessary to know that for a glass staircase, so that it fits harmoniously and correctly into the entire interior, you need the same non-standard design of this room.
Stairs made of glass will just look perfect in a room in high-tech, modern and even minimalistic style.
Certainly, it is needed to understand that the setting of such stair will treat not cheap, but if you decided to do it, I can indisputably notarize that about this decision you will not have to spare.
A stair from glass is an original and unusual decision for an out-of-town house!
