What’s the difference between mono stringer, double stringer, and cantilever floating stairs?custommetals2026-01-27T00:34:12-07:00
Mono stringer: One central steel spine supports the treads for a clean, minimalist look.
Double stringer: Two steel stringers (often on each side or spaced under the treads) for a more substantial, architectural feel and added rigidity.
Cantilever: Treads project from a wall/structural support with no visible stringer on the open side. This is the most “floating” look and typically requires specific structural conditions.
