Staircase problems and solutions
As a skilled metalworker and artisan, I was thrilled when my customer approached me with a vision for a twisted and gnarled balustrading for her beautiful three-story house. I listened carefully to her ideas and crafted detailed sketches and a sample panel that captured her vision perfectly. Seeing her excitement and approval for the design was incredibly rewarding, and I knew I had to make this project a true masterpiece.
The most challenging section was a complex helical twist at the bottom of the staircase. However, after a trial fitting and minor adjustments, the installation was almost complete. To finish the upright posts, I used glass crystal balls, which gave the balustrading a magical feel.
I created three floors of twisted balustrading that flowed down like delicate ribbons of steel.
The twisted helical balustrading was particularly challenging, as it required a spiral rising in different pitches to create a smooth arc.
But, as I hope you’ll agree, the effort was well worth it.
