I have done a complete makeover on my staircase.
The spindles have been replaced with toughened glass panels. And it's been painted to freshen it up.

Thank you m8 for a very comprehensive and extremely helpful video, i been toying with the idea of taking my balustrades out but have seen how much companies charge for replacing with glass etc after following your link for the brackets and finally realizing i could replace my balustrades etc all for under £300 for glass brackets myself i have ordered my brackets and about to make my MDF template to get the glass cut , thanks a bunch for finally convincing me i would be better off replacing my own and saving a fortune , top man cheers excellent job .

Extremely helpful video. Have done a full staircase DIY now i am at the stage of fitting the clamps and measuring/ordering glass. To measure the handrail clamps distance, do you copy the measurements from the baserail? Or are the measurements for handrail different?

Wow, looks great! What would you have done if you didn't have the full trim piece running up your stairs and had just step runs? Would you have just done smaller glass panels. Thanks....nice job!

@spendtimesavemoneydiy 2 жыл бұрын

Don't know to be honest. But you can't have a gap bigger than 100mm so the panels might have to be shaped around the steps. Thanks for watching and don't forget to check out my other videos and subscribe to help my channel grow 👍🏼

@TheMrccfc Жыл бұрын

Great job. Quick question did you maintain the same gap on the sides as you did on the top and bottom of the glass once fitted. I think the brackets hold the glass about 21 mil off the edge top and bottom and wondered if that’s the gap you had on the sides. I’m doing almost an identical project.

Hi great job. Exactly what I am wanting to do. One quick question what did you use to cover the old spindle holes MDF, plywood or thin finished wood? What thickness?

I used 3mm mdf to cover the bottom spindle holes and pine to fill in the groove to the underside of the handrail. Thanks for watching and please check out my other videos and subscribe to help my channel grow 👍🏼
