Glass Stair Panel in a Wrought Iron Frame, Barrington Hills

Most of our finishes land in the black family, so a brown frame stands out. This is a glass stair panel for a Barrington Hills home: a modern wrought iron frame finished in brown, holding glass along the staircase so the run stays open and the sightlines stay clear.

Glass along a staircase keeps the whole flight feeling open, which is the point in a home with good light and a view worth keeping. Going with a brown frame instead of black is a way to tie the metal to wood tones already in the house, warmer and less stark than black against the glass. Small finish decisions like that are where a piece starts to feel custom rather than ordered.

Indoors the wrought iron frame is painted in brown, primed first for an even, durable coat, and the glass is fit to the frame. Built to the actual staircase.

If you want glass on your stairs but black feels too stark, there are warmer options. Talk finishes with Signature Metal Works.
