Defining Characteristics:
1. Aesthetic Elegance
Floating stairs serve as visual centrepieces. Their sculptural form adds sophistication and modern flair to any space.
2. Light and Space Optimization
Open risers and transparent railings allow light to pass through, making rooms feel larger and more open.
3. Custom Design Options
With a wide range of materials and configurations, floating stairs can be tailored to suit diverse styles—from industrial to organic.
4. Property Value
High-end staircase installations can significantly enhance the market appeal and value of your property.
Cantilevered Floating Stairs
These stairs are supported from one side only, typically embedded into a load-bearing wall. The treads protrude outward, creating the ultimate floating effect.
Mono Stringer Floating Stairs
Using a single steel beam underneath the treads, this style offers strength and symmetry while maintaining a light profile.
Double Stringer Floating Stairs
With two stringers placed at the edges or underneath the treads, these stairs provide additional support while maintaining visual lightness.
Spiral Floating Stairs
For a dramatic, space-saving effect, spiral floating stairs combine curvature with levitating steps. Ideal for compact urban spaces or lofts.
Zigzag or Folded Plate Designs
These modern designs feature angular tread patterns, adding a bold geometric element to your staircase.
Floating stairs must meet Canadian safety codes regarding tread width, riser spacing, handrail height, and load-bearing capacity.
These staircases require strong structural anchoring—usually into concrete or steel-reinforced walls
Choose materials that are easy to maintain. Powder-coated metal and sealed hardwoods are excellent long-term options.
1. Integrated LED Lighting
Lighting built into the treads or under each step adds visual drama and improves nighttime safety.
2. Mixed Material Designs
Combining wood with glass or metal offers contrast and visual interest.
3. Minimalist Railings
Thin cables, embedded glass, or hidden supports keep the focus on the treads.
4. Eco-Friendly Materials
Expect to see increased use of sustainable hardwoods, recycled metal, and VOC-free finishes.
5. Smart Technology Integration
Motion sensors, programmable lighting, and connected safety alerts are becoming popular.
