Basement Glass Door

Basement Stairs – Glass Trap Door System

“This blog features a recently completed walk-on glass floor trap-door system to our client’s basement / wine cellar. The hinged glass panel provides a safety cover for the cellar steps entrance which is lit with LED lighting from below for a modern wow-factor feature when viewed from the kitchen above…..”

This hinged glass floor unit was supplied to our client Ian who kindly provided some photos and kind feedback after installation. The glass trap door system is used to cover a set of basement steps acting as an attractive feature which is also functional as a safety barrier, closing off the steps entrance.

Our wine cellar door was inset into a freshly tiled kitchen floor and is made into a feature with the use of LED lighting, emitting a red glow from the basement below and creating that wow-factor talking point of this modern kitchen design.

The glass used in our wine cellar door units is 25.5mm toughened and laminated glazing and safe to walk on with a rating of (minimum) 150kg /sqm in line with current load bearing regulations.

All our hinged glass floor / wine cellar door systems are made to order in our own workshop in Sheffield UK and dispatched nationwide via courier, or available for collection. The trap-door system is supplied fully assembled in order to make installation simple for any competent DIYer or tradesperson.

We are currently also in the process of producing an electronic opening hinged glass floor system, stay tuned!
