In the last 6 months, 50% of the railings we have installed have had glass incorporated into them. There are many ways to install glass - channels, clips & stand-offs. Planning is the most important part of any glass railing. Glass does not bend and can't be cut on-site so everything has to line-up perfectly.
Here at Stairhaus, we plan railing systems first, then your stairs. Because we offer supply and install of railings, we always look at a job from a railing installers perspective. If stairs are not properly laid out, you can end up with a messy railing system or completely eliminate the possibility of a glass system.
Here are a few pictures of some recent glass projects we completed or are still under construction.
Time flies when you're having fun! Today marks 1yr since both Dylan and I opened the doors here at Stairhaus. We are very fortunate to have amazing staff (10 in total) and the best customers in the game. We would not have made it this far without the help & support from our family and friends (our wives especially). We are very lucky to be overwhelmed with work and are looking forward to what 2016 brings us. We are investing in new equipment all the time and recently bought a straight truck to make our delivery & installs easier. Thanks again for all of your support - we wouldn't have made it this far without you! Stay tuned for details regarding our official grand opening in May! Cheers - Matt & Dylan.

Spring is quickly approaching! We had a busier than normal winter, please plan as far ahead as possible when considering new stairs/railings & barn board. We are running 3-4 weeks for standard stair delivery currently!
Cheers from the Stairhaus team!

Enjoy your week!

We have been working hard behind the scenes preparing for our grand opening in May (date TBA). Our showroom is starting to take shape and we can't express how excited we are to open this to the public. You will notice that our website address bar now has the "showroom" tab. Professional pictures of the finished space will be taken and added once complete.
We guarantee that you will be blown away with the options, quality and service you will receive. Stay tuned for more updates while things come together!

First blog entry of the year! Hope everyone had a great/safe Christmas holiday and New Year! We are very busy right now however we have made it our mission to get our showroom ready for our grand opening which we hope to have in May. Here are a couple pics of the stair/post/railing display which will be finished up in the coming weeks.
Our goal is to build the BEST stair/railing showroom in the game. I have seen many of our competitors and I can honestly tell you our showroom will be next level - a place you will want to check out.
Stay tuned!
On behalf of the Stairhaus gang, both Dylan and I would like to wish you all a safe and happy NEW YEAR! 2015 was a very busy year for the Haus & we are very grateful for the opportunity to run and own our own business. We can't wait to see what 2016 brings us and look forward to showcasing many of the cool projects we get to be a part of.
Cheers
Matt & Dylan

That's right! We are moving 1000sqft a week right now. Price goes up in the winter when stock runs low, cash in while real barn board still exists. We are Simcoe County's ONLY retail reclaimed material seller. Our board is de-nailed and kiln dried - not like the air dried kijiji junk which is wet and will shrink excessively when it is installed on your wall. You get what you pay for! Have a great night!

We have said this on many occasions, however both Dylan and I couldn't be happier with the team we have in place. Our crew comes to work with open minds and killer work ethic. Our shop is always clean as a whistle and the orders go out the door on time.
Big thanks to the Stairhaus Crew for an amazing first year. We would be nowhere without you guys! Special thanks to Donaleigh's Irish Public House for the cold drinks and great food.
Cheers

Check out these progress pics from a barn board feature wall we installed this past weekend. Follow a few simple steps and this easy to install project can be installed by anyone with a little patience and a few tools.
Tools Required: 16g air nailer, compressor, hand stapler, chop saw, table saw or skill saw, jig saw, hammer.
Materials Required: dressed barn board, tar paper (roofing), 16g brad nails, staples
Installation:
- cut and staple tar paper to the wall. The black background makes and holes/cracks in the barn board disappear on the wall.
- install barn board working your way from the top to the bottom.
- the jig saw will be required to cut out light switches and electrical outlets.
- the bottom board will have to be ripped to fit against the floor. You can use a table saw or skill saw with a guide.
BOOM! YOU ARE DONE!
The key to a seamless and quick install is having the material dressed and ready to be installed. Let us take care of the supply and shop work, you install and blow your wife's mind!

Glass is insanely popular right now. Easily 90% of all of our very custom/high-end stair projects on the go right now have glass integrated into their design. There are a few things you need to know about glass before you decide if it is the guard for you. Firstly, cleaning the glass will become almost a daily habit, especially if you have curious dogs! Secondly, engineering will be required on nearly all jobs, so this is a cost you must factor in when planning a glass job. Typically 3/8" & 1/2" tempered are the industry standard for clear tempered glass. There are many ways to fasten the glass (stand-offs, glass clips, channel's) and this is where the inspectors are going to want to see your engineering.
We love the floor-to-ceiling look of tempered glass. Visually, the instant description that comes to mind is ultra contemporary & modern lines. The glass provides both as a functioning guard as well as providing an ultra contemporarylook which is expensive, however extremely sexy!
