Innovative staircase

Bent and Curved Glass collaborated with Jorg Hrdina Architects, engineer Matthew O’Hearne and glazing contractor, Vision Glass, to create an innovative frameless glass staircase in a recent residential project in Sydney. The glass installation has gone on to win the “Best Domestic Glazing Project 2013” at the recent NSW Glass and Glazing Association Annual Awards.
Bent and Curved Glass manufactured toughened structural laminated glass stair treads, landing and balustrades, which were installed with an inventive concealed fixing method resulting in the cantilevered panels appearing to float in mid-air.
“The clear sightlines achieved reduce the mass of the stair, eliminating the heavy vertical element”, says project architect Dan North. “Using an almost invisible material such as glass was crucial in avoiding that strong 45-degree staircase line, which would have worked against the rest of the buildings geometry”.
Function is enhanced with the inclusion of an anti-slip frosted frit pattern to the top surface of glass. The specialised DuPont SGP interlayers, bonding the glass together, provide increased structural capacity and higher performance without adding to overall glass thickness.
Bent and Curved Glass work throughout Australia with architects, engineers, builders and contractors at all stages of the design and construction process to achieve affordable and timely glass solutions for a wide range of projects.
