WHY CHOOSE A CANTILEVERED STAIRCASE?

A floating staircase can open up your home, let light in and create an amazing feature. This design creates a floating stair illusion, whereby the stairs appear to be floating with no visible means of support.

Creating a new staircase design within your home allows the cantilever stairs to have a certain flair and unique charm that can be restricted with a renovation project. Whether you want to provide a contrast to a rustic property or match the design of a modern self-build, our truly bespoke, floating staircases can become the focal point of your home.

Our dedicated team of skilled craftsmen and designers will work with you every step of the way to create a unique floating staircase design. We take pride in our collaborative approach when creating a floating staircase, from the initial consultation to the final installation, we will work closely with you to ensure your vision is successfully created.

WHAT IS A FLOATING STAIRCASE?

A floating staircase is a type of staircase that appears to be floating in mid-air with no visible means of support underneath the treads, creating a floating stair illusion.

This style of cantilevered stair allows for the steel skeleton and temporary balustrade to be installed very early in the new build or house renovation, sometimes before the roof, enabling safe use while construction is underway. On completion of plasterboard, skimming and decoration, we then install the solid box cantilevered treads and wrought iron or glass balustrade, which minimises damage during the build.

WHY CHOOSE A FLOATING STAIRCASE?

When deciding on the type of staircase design for your home, there can be a lot to consider. Opting for a floating staircase can offer a number of benefits versus a traditional staircase, both in terms of design and function.

If looking to best utilise your space, a floating staircase may be an option to consider. Floating staircases take up less space than traditional staircases, making them a great option for smaller homes where space may be at a premium. Floating staircases also offer an abundance of versatility. They are able to be customised and amended to suit a wide array of aesthetic preferences. Whichever design ideas you may be opting towards, floating staircases will certainly allow for it.

Floating staircases are visually striking and will certainly add a unique, eye-catching element to any home or space. Through the utilisation of open floating treads, a floating staircase can create a sense of openness and lightness throughout your hallway, often becoming the focal point of a space. Although a floating staircase may appear fragile in its design, in reality, they are designed to be structurally sound and safe. Any floating staircase design must adhere to strict safety and building regulations, ensuring protection at all times. Alongside this, a floating staircase often comes equipped with additional support such as a glass balustrade or handrail.
