About Floating Stairs
Custom Floating Stairs in Bellevue, WA
In a Bellevue home the staircase is usually the first thing a guest sees, and a floating stair turns that moment into the architectural centerpiece it should be. Removing the risers and the bulky framing lets a double height entry read as one open volume.
We design and fabricate custom metal floating stairs across Bellevue, from the modern homes downtown and in the Spring District to the hillside houses of Somerset and Lakemont. Mono stringer, double stringer, and cantilever systems all come with matching railings so the whole assembly is coordinated.
Our Bellevue floating stairs are built in collaboration with Floating Stairs Seattle, our sister company, whose staircase specialism pairs with the railing fabrication and finishing we do in our own shop.
Floating Stairs Types
Explore Our Floating Stairs Types
Three structural approaches cover nearly every floating staircase, and the choice follows your span, your wall structure, and the level of minimalism the design calls for.
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 usual starting point for a modern Eastside home, where the single spine reads as a deliberate architectural line rather than structure.
Double Stringer Stairs
Treads are supported by two steel stringers.
- Very strong support system
- Great for wider stair runs
- Stable feel underfoot daily
Suits the wide, generous stair runs common in larger Bellevue homes, where the extra rigidity is worth the additional visible steel.
Cantilever Stairs
Treads are anchored into a structural wall support.
- True floating stair effect
- Minimal visible structure
- Most open appearance
The most demanding option structurally, and we confirm what the supporting wall can carry before the design is finalized.
Interior Floating Stairs
Interior Floating Stairs in Bellevue Homes
Interior floating stairs work particularly well in the double height entries common across Bellevue, where a conventional closed staircase would cut the volume in half. Lifting the structure and opening the risers keeps the space reading as a single room.
We design each system around your layout, ceiling height, and finishes, matching tread thickness and profile to your flooring, cabinetry, and trim. On an Eastside project we usually work alongside the architect or interior designer from the drawings onward.
Exterior Floating Stairs
Exterior Floating Stairs in Bellevue
Exterior floating stairs connect decks, terraces, and gardens without the visual bulk of conventional framing, which matters on a Bellevue lot where the outlook is part of what you bought. Slim steel stringers keep sightlines open.
Outdoor systems are built around durable steel, non slip treads, and finishes specified for damp Eastside winters. Matching exterior railings in glass, cable, or metal keep the stair and balustrade reading as one designed element.

Stairs and Railings Together
Floating Stairs and Railings From One Source in Bellevue
Buying the staircase from one shop and the railing from another is where mismatched finishes and awkward junctions come from. We supply both, so the stringers, treads, and balustrade are designed as a single assembly and finished to the same standard.
With Floating Stairs Seattle handling the staircase engineering and our shop producing the railings and metalwork, both halves get specialist attention while you deal with one team.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work from architect drawings?
Yes, and on most Bellevue projects that is how it starts. We work from architect or interior design drawings, produce shop drawings for approval before fabrication, and coordinate the stair and railing finishes with the rest of the specified package.
Can you match the stair to our other metalwork?
Yes. Because we fabricate the railings, gates, and architectural metal ourselves, we can carry one powder coat color and one design language from the staircase through to the exterior railings and entry gate, so a Bellevue home reads as a single coordinated scheme.
Which type is best for a wide staircase?
A double stringer, generally. Two steel stringers give the rigidity a wider run needs and produce a more substantial architectural feel underfoot. A mono stringer can span a wide stair but requires heavier steel to do it, and a cantilever depends entirely on what the supporting wall can carry.
Do floating stairs suit a modern Bellevue home?
They suit it exceptionally well. Contemporary Eastside homes are usually built around open volumes and long sightlines, and a conventional closed staircase works against both. A floating stair keeps a double height entry reading as one space and becomes a sculptural feature rather than a necessary obstruction.
