Cobnut Joinery is delighted to announce the start of bespoke glass stair panels in Hempstead, Kent.

At Cobnut Joinery, every bespoke project starts with careful planning and attention to detail. We’re currently working on a custom glass stair panel installation at a private property in Hempstead, Kent, and it’s a great example of how traditional joinery techniques play a key role in achieving a modern finish.

Why We Create Wooden Patterns First

Glass stair panels require absolute precision. No two staircases are ever exactly the same, and even small variations can make a big difference when it comes to fitting glass.

Before ordering the glass, we create bespoke wooden patterns for each individual panel. These patterns are made on site and follow the exact angles, dimensions, and curves of the staircase. This approach allows us to capture details that digital measurements alone can sometimes miss.

By using physical templates, we can be confident that the final glass panels will be manufactured to the correct size and shape, reducing the risk of delays or adjustments during installation.

From Pattern to Finished Glass

Once the wooden patterns are complete and approved, they are sent to the glass manufacturer to produce the panels to precise specifications. This step ensures the finished glass will fit seamlessly within the staircase, delivering a clean, modern look while maintaining safety and structural integrity.

The result is a staircase that feels light and open, with glass panels that sit perfectly within the surrounding timber work.

Combining Traditional Craftsmanship with Modern Design

This project reflects our approach to bespoke joinery — combining traditional methods with contemporary materials to achieve high-quality, long-lasting results. Glass stair panels are a popular choice for homeowners looking to improve light flow while keeping a refined, minimal aesthetic.

We carry out bespoke joinery projects across Kent, including staircases, fitted furniture, and custom architectural woodwork, all tailored to suit each individual home.
