Vast and varied, our network of pros includes glassmakers, steel fabricators, engineering specialists and specialty suppliers who work with us to bring everything together seamlessly. As a project’s dedicated staircase specialist, we manage the entire process, guiding the owner and project team through staircase construction from design to installation. Balancing aesthetic beauty and feasibility is a passion. For the building contractor we represent a total, no-hassle, comprehensive solution – the “Swiss watch” of your construction project.
Why the ballistic specialist? We needed to ensure our glass treads would not shatter and guillotine someone standing below the staircase. With persistent research, David Shuler, our Sales Manager, discovered a ballistic film that embassies around the world now use on their windows to prevent flying glass from car bombs from killing the occupants.
The photo here shows us testing the glass tread we built- here we're topping it with 600 pounds of sandbags plus the strength of a man. Tough stuff!
