Why Choose Floating Stairs in Palm Beach
Aesthetic Appeal and Modern Design
Floating stairs create a visual lightness that traditional staircases cannot match. Each tread projects from the wall without visible support underneath, producing a sleek, uncluttered look that suits both contemporary and transitional Palm Beach interiors.
Maximizing Space and Light Flow
Without risers or bulky support structures, light moves through the stairwell freely. Open-plan layouts benefit from unobstructed sightlines, and smaller footprints achieve vertical movement without sacrificing visual space.
Custom Residential & Commercial Solutions
We design and install floating staircases for both residential homes and commercial properties across Palm Beach. Tread width, stringer placement, railing type, and finish are all selected based on specific space and load requirements.
Permit-Ready Documentation
Every project includes stamped engineering drawings and permit packages submitted directly to Palm Beach County. We manage review coordination and inspector scheduling so you don't have to.
Corrosion-Resistant Materials
Palm Beach's salt air accelerates corrosion. We specify marine-grade stainless steel, powder-coated mild steel, and properly sealed tropical hardwoods matched to each project's exposure conditions.
On-Time Completion Guarantee
We back every project with a guaranteed completion date and financial accountability if we miss it. This is a contractual commitment — not a marketing claim.
Types of Floating Stairs
Floating stairs come in several structural configurations. The right choice depends on your floor plan, ceiling height, and design goals.
Straight Floating Stairs
The most common configuration. Each tread cantilevered from a single structural steel stringer or anchored into a wall. Works well in open-plan homes where sightlines matter.
- — White oak & walnut treads
- — Steel plate for industrial aesthetics
- — Glass for maximum light transmission
Spiral and Circular Floating Stairs
Spiral stairs rotate around a central column. True circular stairs follow a curved arc without a center pole. Both are used when floor space is limited or the staircase is meant to be a visual focal point.
- — CNC laser-cut curved steel stringers
- — Open or closed riser options
- — Florida Building Code compliant
L-Shaped Floating Stairs
Makes a single 90-degree turn with a landing platform at the bend. Used when a straight run does not fit the available floor plan. Landings are fabricated with the same steel and tread materials as the run.
- — Best for corner transitions between floors
- — Landing platform fabricated to match
- — Hidden structural supports
U-Shaped Floating Stairs
Makes two 180-degree turns. Used for central stairwell placements. Requires precise structural planning because the load path changes direction at each landing.
- — Best for central stairwell layouts
- — Two landing platforms
- — Consistent finish throughout
Material Options for Floating Stairs
Hollow Steel Beams — CNC Laser Technology
- — Laser-cut for tight tolerances and clean weld lines
- — Hollow profile allows internal LED wiring
- — Mild steel for interior / stainless for coastal exposure
- — Powder coat or brushed finish options
Wood Species and Finishes
- — White Oak — consistent grain, takes stain well
- — Walnut — darker tone, premium appearance
- — Maple — hard surface, lighter color range
- — Ipe — high density, suitable for outdoor steps
- — Hardwoods above 1,000 Janka scale recommended
Glass Elements and Accents
- — Tempered or laminated glass panels, 3/8" to 1/2"
- — Frameless systems via standoff hardware or base channel
- — Low-iron glass for clearer, less green-tinted panels
- — Toughened safety glass meets Florida building codes
