Glass stairs, floors and furniture in Lloret de Mar, the Costa Brava and La Selva

A glass tread or floor is not simply thick glass: it is an engineered structural laminate. We work with build-ups of three or four toughened panes bonded with SentryGlas, a far stiffer resin than conventional PVB and the reason the assembly keeps carrying load if one pane breaks. We size it from the span between supports, the fixing type and the imposed load the Spanish CTE sets for dwellings or public premises.

The top face always carries an anti-slip treatment: fired ceramic screen printing in dots or bands, or an acid-etched finish. We never hand over a plain glass tread, however good it looks in a photograph. We make cantilevered treads with recessed anchors, staircases on a central stringer, structural floors on steel frames, walkways, walk-on rooflights and glass floors over basements and cellars to bring daylight downwards.

In furniture we make toughened glass table tops with polished or bevelled edges, shelves, worktops and bar fronts, display cases and retail units, and counter screens. Everything with a worked edge and, where the piece is within public reach, in safety glass.
