'Engineered Glass' has progressed rapidly over the past few years. No longer used only in windows, it is now used in Glass staircase designs, glass treads, glass railing, glass walls, glass pool fences, glass deck rail as well as structural glass bridges and other glass walking surfaces.

Safety, structure and esthetic challenges have all been solved with the evolution of interlayers available today.

Structural glass floors, glass stair treads, and glass bridges are becoming popular with upscale designers looking to give their customer the finest in glass staircase designs.

Glass stairs have become increasingly common during the last few years. This is partly due to architectural fashion, but, mainly, it is a result of considerable improvements that have been made in reference to the strength of glass used for structural purposes. Although aesthetics play a considerable part in the choice of a glass stairway, there are some functional reasons why glass may be used.
