Floating stairs with a hidden steel backbone.
I-beam, mono-tube and double-stringer stairs with open risers, for homes and commercial lobbies.
A floating stair looks weightless because the structure is one steel spine or a pair of stringers carrying open treads. Getting that right takes careful engineering and fabrication, which is what our shop does every day.
We design the stringer, build it in the shop, and install it with the treads and railing of your choice: wood, steel or glass.
- Mono-tube and I-beamA single center spine under the treads.
- Double stringerTwo steel tubes or plates carrying the treads between them.
- Matching railingsCable, glass or steel railings built to go with the stair.

Floating Staircases: common questions
What makes a staircase "floating"?
The treads are carried by a hidden steel stringer or a wall connection, so they look like they float. The steel is designed and drawn in 3D before we build it.
What can the treads be made of?
Wood, steel, stone or glass treads all work on a steel stringer. Many customers have their carpenter supply wood treads to match the floors.
