Custom Floating Staircases Supplier: Cantilevered Steps, Clean Aesthetic

Send us your drawings and we customize floating staircase size, structure, treads and railings to coordinate with your floors, walls and other materials.

What is Floating Staircase

Floating staircases—also called suspended stairs—give the illusion of treads hovering in mid-air, thanks to hidden supports or a central spine. Their minimalist profile opens up sightlines and floods interiors with light, making them a stylish centerpiece in both residential and commercial settings.

• Illusion of Weightlessness

Treads appear to float, creating an airy, expansive feel.

• Clean, Contemporary Look

Sleek lines and no visible risers enhance modern design schemes, making them perfect for a floating modern staircase.

• Versatile Installation

Mount to a concealed wall ledger or central beam—perfect for homes, offices, hotels, and showrooms. Whether it’s a floating wood staircase or a floating glass staircase, installation is adaptable to your design needs.

• Space-Maximizing

Open undersides leave room for storage, display, or unobstructed traffic flow.

• Striking Focal Point

Seamlessly blends function with sculptural beauty to elevate any interior, whether as a floating spiral staircase or a customized design.

Staircase Installation Process and Techniques

Taking Our Showroom Installation as an Example

Watch our showroom build: a brushed stainless-steel mono-stringer and a floating stair with solid wood treads and low-iron glass balustrade. Close-ups show perfect welding, crisp detailing, and smooth on-site assembly—modern staircase quality you can trust.

Structure of Floating Staircases

Treads

• Cantilevered Design

Each step is anchored at one end—either into a reinforced wall or hidden spine—creating the signature “floating” look. This unique design is a hallmark of floating staircases.

• Premium Materials

Choose from solid wood, steel, glass, or natural stone to match your style and durability needs. Whether you prefer a floating wood staircase or a floating glass staircase, the materials are customizable to fit your aesthetic.

• Invisible Fastening

Heavy-duty anchors and brackets are concealed inside the tread for a clean, uninterrupted surface, enhancing the minimalist feel of floating staircases.

Hidden Support

• Wall Anchors

Bolted into load-bearing walls with reinforced backing, these brackets vanish behind the tread, creating a seamless look for your floating modern staircase.

• Central Spine

A slim steel or timber beam runs hidden beneath the steps, carrying weight without breaking the visual flow, ideal for floating spiral staircase designs.

Structural Components

• Minimal Stringers

For pure floating aesthetics, stringers are recessed or omitted; optional slimline stringers add extra stability if required, maintaining the clean lines of the floating staircase design.

• Custom Brackets

Engineered mounts secure each tread to the wall or spine, rated for heavy loads yet designed to stay out of sight for a flawless finish.

Railings & Handrails

• Glass Panels

Frameless glass keeps views wide open while ensuring safety, often integrated into floating glass staircase designs for a modern touch.

• Metal Balusters

Slim steel or aluminum posts offer a modern, industrial accent with strong support, blending seamlessly with floating wood staircase styles.

• Integrated Handrails

Flush-mounted or continuous bar options maintain the floating staircase’s sleek profile without sacrificing grip or safety.

Shapes of Floating Staircases

L-Shaped

Maximizes corner space and fits snugly into tight layouts. L-shaped floating staircases require a reinforced shear wall for secure anchoring and stability, making them ideal for residential or commercial spaces with limited room.

Straight

Sleek, linear design with no floor supports—perfect for modern, uncluttered interiors. Standard rise is 140–175 mm and tread depth 265–300 mm, ideal for a floating modern staircase in minimalist spaces. The clean lines of straight floating staircases add sophistication and elegance.

Spiral

The ultimate space-saver, winding elegantly around a central spine. To meet safety standards, install the handrail on the inside of the ascent. Whether it’s for a floating spiral staircase or a compact design, this option maximizes space while making a bold architectural statement.

Floating Staircase FAQs

Bespoke floating stair solutions—from space planning and material selection to installation and upkeep, we’re with you every step of the way.

Q: How do I make sure the floating stairs fit my exact space and layout?

A: Send us your floor plans and ceiling height; our engineers will calculate span, tread depth, and clearances, then share detailed shop drawings so you know your floating staircase will drop into place without surprises. Whether it’s a floating wood staircase or a floating spiral staircase, we ensure a seamless fit.

Q: Can you match the stair materials and finishes to my interior design?

A: Absolutely. Choose from steel, timber, glass, or a mixed-material combination; we provide sample swatches and 3D renders so you can approve the look before fabrication begins. This applies to both floating modern staircase designs and more traditional floating staircase ideas.

Q: What timeline should I expect from design to on‐site installation?

A: Initial concept and shop drawings are ready in about a week; fabrication typically takes three to four weeks, and our project manager coordinates shipping and can arrange on-site supervision to ensure a smooth fit-out of your floating staircase design.

Q: How do you guarantee the staircase will feel solid and safe under daily use?

A: We engineer each stringer and bracket for rigidity, design consistent riser heights, and include non-slip tread options. Your installation guide and remote support keep your contractors confident at every stair, ensuring the safety and comfort of your floating staircases.

Q: What simple maintenance keeps my floating stairs looking and performing like new?

A: Routine care is minimal—dust or wipe metal with a damp cloth and apply wood oil to treads annually. We stock replacement treads, handrail parts, and fasteners so any refresh or repair for your floating glass staircase or other models is quick and hassle-free.
