Modern Luxury Floating Stairs and Glass Railings in Bellevue, WA

In Bellevue’s world of modern homes and architectural excellence, one feature continues to stand out — floating stairs with glass railings.
This design blends engineering innovation with pure visual simplicity, creating an open, airy, and contemporary aesthetic perfect for today’s luxury residences.

At Custom Railings WA, we design, fabricate, and install both the floating staircase and the glass railing system, ensuring complete design harmony and structural precision. Whether you’re building a new home or upgrading an interior, our integrated approach gives you a seamless, polished final result.

Why Floating Stairs Are So Popular in Bellevue

Bellevue homeowners appreciate design that’s clean, refined, and timeless. Floating stairs embody that philosophy, delivering a sense of lightness and sophistication that complements both modern and transitional interiors.

Benefits include:

• Open visual space — no bulky stringers or risers blocking light
• Architectural statement — instantly elevates the interior design
• Customization — flexible materials, treads, and finishes
• Durability — engineered steel or aluminum structure with code-compliant support
• Enhanced home value — a focal point that adds luxury appeal

Floating stairs pair beautifully with glass railings, offering a sleek, transparent enclosure that maintains the sense of openness while providing essential safety and code compliance.

Design Options for Floating Stairs

At Custom Railings WA, every floating staircase is custom-engineered for your space, balancing design aesthetics, building codes, and long-term stability.

Mono Stringer Floating Stairs

A single center beam supports each tread for a clean, linear look. Perfect for minimal, modern homes in Bellevue.

Double Stringer Design

Offers additional stability while maintaining a floating appearance. Great for wider staircases or heavier treads.

Wall-Mounted Cantilevered Stairs

Treads appear to emerge directly from the wall with no visible supports. Combined with glass railings, this creates a completely suspended look, ideal for open-plan living.

Open vs Closed Treads

Choose between open risers for maximum light flow or closed treads for a solid, sculptural appearance.

Tread Materials & Finishes

Your choice of tread material defines the staircase’s character.

• Solid wood treads (oak, walnut, maple, ash) add warmth and contrast beautifully with steel and glass.
• Powder-coated steel treads deliver a bold, industrial aesthetic.
• Glass or composite treads create a truly futuristic statement.

Each tread is carefully engineered for strength and anchored into the main structure with concealed hardware.

Glass Railings

To complement the floating design, we use custom glass railing systems that deliver transparency and elegance without compromising safety.

Glass Types

• Clear tempered glass: crisp and bright
• Low-iron (ultra-clear) glass: for high-end projects
• Frosted or tinted glass: for privacy and light diffusion

Mounting Options

• Standoff-mounted: glass panels anchored with decorative stainless steel bolts
• Base-mounted: glass set into a hidden floor channel for a frameless appearance
• Post-mounted: minimal steel or aluminum posts with a sleek profile

Each system is engineered for both residential and commercial code compliance, ensuring beauty and structural safety.

Integrated Fabrication: Both Stair & Railing by One Team

Unlike many companies that handle only one component, Custom Railings WA fabricates both the floating stairs and the glass railing system in-house.

This integrated approach means:

• Perfect alignment between tread structure and glass panels
• Streamlined installation and reduced project delays
• Consistent material quality and finish
• A cohesive architectural look

By managing the entire process, from design to final polish, we ensure a flawless transition between stair and railing.
