About Floating Stairs
Custom Floating Stairs in Kent, WA
Our shop and showroom are in Kent, so a floating staircase for a Kent property is fabricated minutes from where it will be installed, and you can come and see the stringers and treads on the shop floor before delivery.
We design and fabricate custom floating stairs in mono stringer, double stringer, and cantilever configurations for homes across East Hill and the valley, and for commercial spaces where a staircase has to make an impression and take daily public use.
Right here at home, Kent floating stairs are produced in collaboration with Floating Stairs Seattle, our sister company, whose staircase expertise pairs with the railings and metalwork we make in our own shop.
Floating Stairs Types
Explore Our Floating Stairs Types
Three structural approaches, all built to the same standard here in Kent, for residential and commercial projects alike.
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 requested configuration for a Kent home, and slim enough to suit a townhome or a compact stairwell.
Double Stringer Stairs
Treads are supported by two steel stringers.
- Very strong support system
- Great for wider stair runs
- Stable feel underfoot daily
The right specification for a commercial stair or a wide residential run that will take constant daily traffic.
Cantilever Stairs
Treads are anchored into a structural wall support.
- True floating stair effect
- Minimal visible structure
- Most open appearance
Depends on the supporting wall, and we assess what is there on site before the design is settled.
Interior Floating Stairs
Interior Floating Stairs for Kent Homes and Businesses
Interior floating stairs open up a house by removing the visual mass a closed staircase creates, and in a commercial space they make an entrance or a mezzanine into a genuine feature rather than a circulation necessity.
We design each system around the layout, ceiling height, and finishes, and for a commercial installation we account for the heavier daily use a public stair sees. Being local, we can measure and adjust on short notice.
Exterior Floating Stairs
Exterior Floating Stairs in Kent
Exterior floating stairs connect decks, entries, and upper levels without heavy framing, on East Hill homes and on commercial buildings in the valley where an external stair is part of the frontage.
Outdoor systems are built on durable steel with non slip treads and finishes specified for the valley’s wet winters, so an exterior stair on a business entrance still looks deliberate several years in.

Everything happens here: the stair design, the railing fabrication, the finishing, and the coordination between them. That removes the usual problem of a staircase and a balustrade arriving from two suppliers that never spoke to each other.
Floating Stairs Seattle handles the staircase structure while our Kent shop produces the railings and metalwork, and local jobs carry no travel charge.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the three stair types?
A mono stringer uses one central steel spine for a clean minimal look. A double stringer uses two, which adds rigidity and a more solid feel, making it the usual choice for commercial or wide residential runs. A cantilever anchors treads into a structural wall with nothing visible on the open side, giving the most dramatic floating effect.
Is there a travel charge on a Kent job?
No. The shop and showroom are both here in Kent, so local jobs carry no travel charge. Being minutes away also means we can measure quickly and come back easily if anything needs fine tuning after installation.
Do you build floating stairs for commercial spaces?
Yes. A floating staircase in a lobby, showroom, or mezzanine makes a strong impression, and we build them to take constant public use, which usually means a double stringer and a more robust specification than a residential stair. Being local to Kent, we handle installation and any later service quickly.
Can I see the staircase before it is installed?
Yes, and on a floating stair it is worth doing. Our shop and showroom are in Kent, so you can see tread and stringer samples, compare finishes in person, and on your own project view the stringers and treads on the shop floor before they are delivered.
