About Floating Stairs
Custom Floating Stairs in Clyde Hill, WA
Clyde Hill homes are planned around light and outlook, and a closed staircase works against both. A floating stair lets daylight travel between floors and keeps the sightlines that the house was designed to have.
We design and fabricate custom floating staircases for Clyde Hill properties in mono stringer, double stringer, and cantilever configurations, with matching railings so the stair and balustrade form one assembly.
We build our Clyde Hill floating stairs in collaboration with Floating Stairs Seattle, our sister company, combining their staircase expertise with the railings and architectural metal we fabricate in house.
Floating Stairs Types
Explore Our Floating Stairs Types
Three structural approaches, and on a view oriented home the choice usually comes down to which leaves the most light and sightline intact.
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
Keeps the visible structure to a single line, which suits a Clyde Hill stairwell positioned to carry light down from an upper level.
Double Stringer Stairs
Treads are supported by two steel stringers.
- Very strong support system
- Great for wider stair runs
- Stable feel underfoot daily
The stronger option for a wide run, and the extra steel can be detailed slim enough to stay unobtrusive in an open interior.
Cantilever Stairs
Treads are anchored into a structural wall support.
- True floating stair effect
- Minimal visible structure
- Most open appearance
Leaves the open side entirely free of structure, the best result for light and sightlines when the wall can carry it.
Interior Floating Stairs
Interior Floating Stairs in Clyde Hill Homes
Interior floating stairs suit these homes because they solve two problems at once. They remove the visual mass a conventional staircase adds to an open plan, and the open risers let daylight from upper level glazing reach the floor below.
Each system is designed around your layout, ceiling height, and finishes, with tread thickness and profile matched to the flooring and trim. On a hillside lot we also account for how the stair meets split levels, which is common in Clyde Hill houses.
Exterior Floating Stairs
Exterior Floating Stairs in Clyde Hill
Exterior floating stairs connect terraces and garden levels on a sloped lot without the bulk of conventional framing. On a view property that matters, since a heavy exterior stair blocks precisely the outlook the terrace exists for.
Outdoor systems use durable steel stringers, non slip treads, and finishes specified for exposure on a hilltop lot where weather arrives from every direction. Matching glass, cable, or metal railings complete the assembly.

Stairs and Railings Together
Floating Stairs and Railings From One Team in Clyde Hill
A staircase from one supplier and a railing from another almost always shows at the junction, in the finish, the fixing detail, or the alignment. Supplying both means the assembly is drawn as one piece and finished to one specification.
Floating Stairs Seattle handles the staircase structure while our shop produces the railings and coordinates them with the home’s other metalwork, so you get specialist work on both without managing two suppliers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you coordinate with our architect?
Yes. We work from architect drawings, issue shop drawings for approval before fabrication, and coordinate the stair and railing finishes with the rest of the specified metalwork. On a cantilever in particular, involving us early lets the structural provision be built in rather than retrofitted.
Which railing suits a floating stair on a view lot?
Frameless glass, most often, because it leaves the outlook and the light untouched. Cable is the next least intrusive and needs less cleaning. Metal gives the most design range and the most durability. Because we fabricate all three, we match the railing to the stair rather than fitting whatever a stair supplier happens to stock.
Can a floating stair work on a split level?
Yes, and it is common here given the sloped lots. Floating stairs can be configured as a straight run, an L shape, or a U shape with intermediate landings, so a split level layout is a design question rather than an obstacle. We measure the actual levels on site before drawing anything.
Will a floating stair improve the light in our home?
Usually noticeably. Open risers let daylight pass vertically through the staircase instead of stopping at each solid riser, so light from upper level glazing reaches the floor below. On a Clyde Hill house designed around its glazing, that is often the main reason people choose a floating stair over a conventional one.
