A staircase should be at home in its surroundings. A contemporary isn’t right for many homes which is why the Brown family quite rightly decided to retain a traditional feel to their new staircase. The warm tones of the beautiful prefinished turned oak spindles were the perfect solution for this staircase.

We’ve been pioneering staircase installations since 1996 and we know that having an expert installations team is vital but the hard work and expertise starts long before they’re needed. Our design consultants work with clients to create the optimal design for each home discussing design options and materials at their first consultation before the in-house CAD team begin their detailed drawings using precise measurements and angles to create the perfect bespoke staircase.
We know that a good staircase should excel in both function and form, creating a central focal point which gives your home the Wow-factor. Every staircase we install is unique, made to the exact size and design specifications determined by each customer to reflect the needs of them and their home. As all homes are different so are the staircases within them. We believe that you do not need a grand house to have a luxury staircase that makes a statement. What’s more, a beautiful staircase should not be achieved by compromising quality or safety – that’s why we use the finest materials in all our installations.
The Mansfield family were delighted with their new staircase which uses clever glass down stands to comply with UK building regulation. This allows increased air and light flow between the treads. The polished edges of the 10mm glass spindles reflect and refract light projecting a slightly different appearance as the light levels change throughout the day.

Measuring 324 metres tall (including antennas) and weighing 10,100 tonnes, the Eiffel Towers is one of the worlds most iconic structures despite the fact that when built 130 years ago it was only intended to stand for 20 years before being dismantled.
Today the tower welcomes 7 million people a year – many of which naturally ascend the tower in the lifts which travel a combined distance of 103,000 km a year which is equivalent to two and a half times the circumference of the Earth!
Alternatively, if you’ve got a head for heights and the legs for it you can climb the 1,665 steps instead…or you let someone else do it for you and just watch the video below.
This new oak staircase forms the centrepiece of this home and uses glass down stands to comply with UK building regulations while maintaining the open feeling of the stairs allowing air and light to flow freely between the treads. The embedded glass balustrade comprises 10mm toughened safety glass and an inviting oak feature step.

Thank you to everyone who donated and participated in our fundraising for the Stroke Association, a wonderful charity very close to our hearts. Read more here. In January 2019 our friend and designer Colin Campbell suffered a stroke. Fortunately Colin’s recovery has gone very well and Abbott-Wade & the Campbell family have now raised almost £4000 so far and counting.
We’d also like to thank the lovely Mikaela from The Stroke Association North West for coming to visit us to allow us to present the cheque for all the money raised so far.
In more fantastic news, Colin’s son Drew has been selected to run in the 2020 London Marathon representing The Stroke Association. Links to his JustGiving page are below.
Thank you for your continued support: https://www.justgiving.com/fundrai…/drewcampbell-lndmarathon
Abbott-Wade offer a range of glass staircases with embedded or clamped 10mm clear glass being a popular choice. For a super-modern minimalist style we also offer Frameless Glass options on new staircases such as this one. Our 15mm glass can be paired with oak or with a stained or painted finish on the stairs. Tour this recent installation over three storeys to see for yourself how the unobscured glass opens up the entire stairway and consider how a similar installation could transform your own home.
