About Floating Stairs

Custom Floating Stairs in Redmond, WA

Redmond builds contemporary, which makes a floating staircase the natural choice rather than the bold one. In a house of clean lines and open plans, a conventional closed stair is usually the one heavy element left in the room.

We design and fabricate custom floating stairs across Redmond, in mono stringer, double stringer, and cantilever configurations, with matching railings included. From Education Hill to the newer homes at Redmond Ridge, the system is designed around the specific opening.

Every Redmond staircase is produced in collaboration with Floating Stairs Seattle, our sister company, pairing their dedicated stair experience with the modern railings and metalwork we build ourselves.

Floating Stairs Types

Explore Our Floating Stairs Types

Three structural approaches cover nearly every floating staircase, and the right one depends on your span, your wall structure, and how minimal you want the result.

Mono Stringer Stairs

Treads are supported by one central steel stringer.

  • Clean and modern profile
  • Open feel with less steel
  • Strong support for daily use

The most common request in Redmond’s modern homes, where a single steel spine matches the restraint of the rest of the interior.

Double Stringer Stairs

Treads are supported by two steel stringers.

  • Very strong support system
  • Great for wider stair runs
  • Stable feel underfoot daily

Worth the extra visible steel on a wider run, and it gives a noticeably more solid feel underfoot on a busy family staircase.

Cantilever Stairs

Treads are anchored into a structural wall support.

  • True floating stair effect
  • Minimal visible structure
  • Most open appearance

Depends on what the supporting wall can carry, which on a newer Redmond build is often simplest to design in from the start.

Interior Floating Stairs

Interior Floating Stairs in Redmond Homes

Interior floating stairs suit the open plan layouts of newer Redmond houses, where a closed staircase interrupts the one continuous space the design is built around. Removing the risers keeps the ground floor reading as a whole.

 

We design each system around your layout, ceiling height, and finishes, matching tread thickness and profile to your flooring and trim. Where a community has design standards for interior alterations, we supply drawings and finish samples for review.

Exterior Floating Stairs

Exterior Floating Stairs in Redmond

Exterior floating stairs link decks, patios, and garden levels without the bulk of conventional framing, keeping a backyard feeling open rather than divided by a heavy stair structure.

 

Outdoor systems are built on durable steel stringers with non slip treads and finishes specified for Redmond’s damp, shaded conditions, where surfaces stay wet much of the year. Matching glass, cable, or metal railings complete the assembly.

Stairs and Railings Together

Floating Stairs and Railings From One Source in Redmond

Most fabricators supply the steel structure and leave the balustrade to someone else, which is where fit and finish problems start. We handle both, so the stringers, treads, and railings are designed together and match properly.

Floating Stairs Seattle brings dedicated staircase experience to the structure while our shop fabricates the railings and metalwork, giving you specialist work on both parts through a single point of contact.

Frequently Asked Questions

A mono stringer runs one central steel spine under the treads for a minimal look. A double stringer uses two, adding rigidity and a more substantial feel that suits wider runs. A cantilever anchors treads into a structural wall with nothing visible on the open side, giving the most dramatic result and needing the most structural provision.

Floating stairs use open risers by design, and tread spacing is set with comfort and safety in mind rather than left to chance. If you have young children, we discuss the configuration and the railing infill early, since a closer infill or a glass balustrade changes how the stair works day to day.

Yes. Interior work is rarely subject to community design review, but where a development does have standards covering visible alterations we supply drawings and finish samples so the project clears review without a second round. Exterior stairs more often need that documentation.

They are among the better fits. Contemporary homes are designed around open plans and clean lines, and a conventional closed staircase is usually the heaviest object left in an otherwise light interior. A floating stair removes that mass and turns the staircase into a feature instead of an obstruction.
