Hi. I designed the staircase and we had a local metal fabricator ( based in Totnes, Devon ) make the stringers and arrange for the timber treads and glass balustrade. So it was a bespoke staircase for this house. i hope that helps.

Thanks for the response. Would you consider recreating them for my project in Brighton? I really like them and struggling to find anything quite as wonderful. :-) Cheers.

Well, I think, in a fall, the slick painted concrete steps leading to a brick/concrete wall and, if you survive the turn in staircase, stone flooring at the bottom must also be on the list of potential hazards :) To be honest, I have to go back and check the slipperiness of the stairs. No idea how I could get a runner around the bend and anchored into concrete but something may be required. For whomever asked, the parquet is the entire upstairs flooring. The stone is all downstairs (and not too attractive so rug shopping is high on my list). I have to give it to the Swiss. There is nary a wobble in the current railing - it's just not up to any sort of child protection code. A 2 inch thick catalog of railing options landed on the doorstep yesterday - must peruse and ponder for a bit! Thankfully we have no children or pets to lose over the side so I have some time to get it right! So long as chicken wire NEVER enters the conversation!!!!! hahahahhaha

It looks absolutely fantastic except that I'd really want to see it with warm lighting. Looks too cold with the white led's to me.

Hi, I love the idea that Spaced Out has offered above as that would have been my suggestion upon first reading as well. I am about to 'paint a runner' on my own white painted stairs at the moment to compliment grey walls and a black front door - considering black similar to the example in blue shown above. I think it can be quite striking and very easily fits into a Scandinavian interior. Do choose paint wisely, and spend on quality in this case as stairs are hit with heavy feet and can show wear and tear quickly particularly if they are original. I have the same in my own house and have already had to do touch ups twice since we moved in two years ago. Another suggestion would be to ask your painter to put sand in your paint - not too much but just a bit - as it creates a natural tread on stairs that can be quite helpful. Painted stairs can be very slippery! Best of luck in your new home!

I went on line and read the data sheet I realised that the front bit is just a frame with polycarbonate sheet in it. Therefore, I wanted to find out if you could just swap the polycarbonate sheet for a different colour or thickness to diffuse the light. Anyhow, the upshot is yes you can - I thought as much, as they use it in light boxes for SAD people - that's seasonal affective disorder not people that are a bit upset. ( Did something similar for the wife ). Try here, they'll cut it to size if you want:- Simply Plastics - You will note that the particular polycarbonate that they are using is fire rated. The size of the outside of your box is 80mm, so buy squares smaller than that. I'd take off the front and see what size you can fit inside. Conversely, you could add extra squares on the outside as long as you use a fire retardant glue / sealant. That would in effect double up the thickness and dull the light down. Obviously the thicker you buy it the more light doesn't get through, so if you've got a 2 or 3mm bit, change it for 5mm. I went as far as to ask on the online chat if this was absolutely ok, which I am sure it is. The lady on line is having it confirmed by the technical team and will email me back with a concrete answer, however, i'm fairly confident that it will be fine.
