  • Glass Balustrade Staircase

    I'm looking to change my wood balustrade to glass. I can't find anything regarding regulations or anything. I have a staircase with a small corner and then the landing. Do i need to use a certain amount of glass clamps? To measure for the glass do i measure the gap and then the angle and then deduct 20mm for each clamp? Not sure the best way to get an accurate piece of glass. For the main staircase it's going to be 2 sections of glass. How big should the gap be between the 2? Thank you for the advice.

    Media wall advice needed

    I have recently moved home so at the moment trying to get back on my feet. I have a good bit of media and good bones for a media wall, i’m wondering if anybody can give me an estimate roughly how much it would cost to build a media wall I would need plenty of storage. I’m hoping for a rough estimate so I know roughly how much I need to save before actually posting a job.
