Refreshing staircase with laminate and glass

Yes the glass looks beautiful.

But will it help to realise every single person going up and down will leave fingermarks so you will need to clean it every day?

Just trying to make you feel better about changing plans

Does anyone have any suggestions/practical experience as to what is possible as a staircase refresh to a more modern kind of design? I like the frameless glass banister but I can now see that it'll be very expensive so anything that is modern yet good value for money?

I'll try to find local companies to get some quotes in the meantime.

Yes.  Pinterest is your friend.

We've done similar but with 4x4 'spindles' as we had a steel that size that I wanted to disguise.  We've put a handrail on the solid wall.  

I think we spent less than £300 on wood.  More on the carpenter to put it together, but it wasn't much more effort than ordinary spindles and bannister.

Thanks for everyone's help. I've found a couple of people who can do stair refurbs so I'm going to see what they can do. If not, then I have quite a few more companies that can do what I want as a complete stair replacement.
