Explore Our Floating Stair Configurations
Straight Floating Stairs
Clean Lines. Open Design. Efficient Installation.
A continuous flight of open treads supported by a single steel mono-stringer, connecting one floor directly to another.
The straight configuration offers a clean, minimalist architectural appearance and a straightforward installation arrangement for qualified contractors.
An excellent choice for projects where simplicity, elegance, and efficient use of materials are priorities.
Quarter-Turn Floating Stairs (L-Shaped)
Architectural Flexibility with a 90° Turn.
Two stair flights connected by an intermediate landing, creating a 90-degree change in direction.
This configuration accommodates floor plans requiring a turn while preserving the open appearance of a floating staircase.
A practical solution for integrating custom stairs into architectural layouts where a straight flight is not suitable.
Switchback Floating Stairs (U-Shaped)
A Dramatic Design for More Compact Layouts.
Two parallel stair flights connected by an intermediate landing, creating a 180-degree change in direction.
The switchback configuration accommodates substantial floor-to-floor height within a more compact layout than a comparable straight staircase.
Its parallel flights and open construction create an attractive architectural feature while making efficient use of the available space.
Floating Stairs with Multiple Landings
Custom Configurations for Complex Architectural Spaces.
For projects requiring additional turns, changes in direction, or multiple levels, Dec-Iron manufactures custom floating stair systems with multiple flights and landings.
Each system is engineered for its specific configuration, with discreet structural support posts positioned beneath landings wherever required by the engineering design.
This flexibility allows builders to incorporate floating stair systems into more complex architectural layouts while maintaining a consistent, contemporary appearance.
Custom Stairs
The Double Turn.
This is the rendering we did for a builder in Pennsylvania.
It is called a double turn: one flight rises to a landing, then divides into two flights, one turning left and one turning right.
