TuffX steps up

TuffX has highlighted how the use of glass can transform dark and narrow staircases into ‘bright and welcoming’ focal points which dramatically improve the quality of a living space.

The company was chosen to supply 15mm toughened safety glass with dubbed corners, in a mixture of rectangle and CNC-shaped panels, along with 33mm laminated walk-on floors with sandblasted corners to a residential property in Plymouth with grand designs for a double-height staircase.

The project was used to complete an open-tread glass staircase with a glass balustrade and walk-on glass landing. The finished result is said to be a ‘bright, airy and modern space’ with maximum natural light flowing through three floors and reaching out across the living areas beyond.

According to TuffX it’s a clever way of ‘bringing the multiple floors together and showcasing the impressive sense of space on offer in the property’. The project also features a walk-on glass floor.

“We’re delighted to see the finished result for this project, which truly shows the potential of toughened safety glass to absolutely transform modern open-plan, multi-storey living,” said TuffX’s commercial director, Paul Higgins.

“When space and natural light are at a premium, glass makes an effective solution as well as a bold design statement for balustrades, walk-on floors and staircases — so why not combine all three?”
