Architectural stairs
At Costello Engineering we design and manufacture architectural stairs and handrails to mondernize your living space. We supply everything from the steel spine to the wooden steps to the stainless and glass handrail.
We can also retro fit modern handrails to most existing staircases. Please do not hesitate to contact us and we can go through your options.
Below are just a few of the projects we have done.
This stairs is done over 3 floors. As the stair well was quite small we had to turn the stairs back on itself between each floor. This created a half landing between the floors.
The spine of the stairs is made of 2 mild steel hollow sections sprayed cream.
The steps are American oak. The glass is fitted as a handrail to the steps. The glass is secretly fixed to the steel spine and steps so no fixings can be seen. It gives the impression the steps are floating. At each landing we fixed narrow sheets of glasses like fins between the 2 handrail glasses to give the stairs another modern twist.
For this stairs the spine was made of two mild steel hollow sections in black. Again the steps are American oak. As this stairs is against the wall there is only a glass rail on one side. The frame less glass rail continues around the void upstairs. It is also on the front of the landing overlooking the downstairs sitting area. The glass here is secured with stainless buttons to give it a sleek look.
This is a much wider stairs but again is done with 2 hollow section spines painted cream with American white oak steps. Upstairs the glass that surrounds to void is done in a framed system with stainless steel uprights and stainless glass clamps to hold the glass
Here we retro fitted an existing stairs and landing with a framed glass railing to give it a modern feel.
This stairs is slightly different with a single black center spine. It also has lighting fitted into the american oak steps. It also has framed glass railing on one side. Its framed with black mild steel hollow section which also acts as the handrail.
